Stackpole Electronics has expanded its sensing portfolio with the CSSU2512, a 5-watt current sense resistor. The all-metal device leverages a thermally efficient structure, delivering 5W performance in a standard 2512 footprint. The CSSU2512 achieves thermal behavior comparable to that of typical 3W chips. Offered in 1–10 mΩ values with 1% tolerance and a 50-ppm TCR, the AEC-compliant resistor supports applications requiring durable, low-resistance sensing. Pricing ranges from $0.22–$0.30 in full-package quantities, with volume options available through Stackpole and authorized distributors.
