Type RLP73 series is a high power current sense resistor. This thick film chip resistor suitable for current sensing positions. It has a special metal glaze resistive element, noble metal terminals and a nickel barrier layer beneath the matte Sn finish to prolong terminal life. The RL73 series satisfies the demand for a low ohmic shunt resistor to act as a current sensor. Typical applications include communications, audio, automotive, low voltage power supplies and power management applications.
