WS;2512R1500FEA – VISHAY

The Vishay WS;2512R1500FEA is a 2512-sized (6.35mm x 3.18mm) surface-mount (SMD) thick film power resistor designed for current sensing and voltage division applications requiring high power dissipation in a compact footprint. This resistor features a low resistance value of 0.15 Ohms (150 mΩ) with a ±1% tolerance, enabling precise current measurement. Its robust construction allows for a continuous current rating of 5.77A and supports a maximum voltage rating of 200V. The WS;2512R1500FEA operates reliably across a broad temperature range of –55°C to 155°C, making it suitable for demanding automotive and industrial environments. Its low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) minimizes resistance drift over temperature, ensuring stable performance. Commonly used in power supply feedback loops, motor control circuits, and battery management systems, this resistor provides designers with a highly efficient and accurate current sensing solution, reducing overall board space and improving thermal management.
