4-Terminal Current Sensor

The surface mount-type current sensor with 4 terminals

YDS’s 4-terminal Current Sensor enables to surface mount on the ceramic substrate easily. The current terminals and the sensing are the same, which can be replaceable each other. It will be much easier to design circuits without a great care about a precision change generated concerning the position of leads. Manufacturing resistors in chip type can reduce the cost and they are available in a wide range of circuits which need even high precision.

… Features …

  • High ability to sense the current; ±5% of precision guaranteed

  • Small sensing change by temperature change; in resistance to ±50ppm/°C guaranteed

  • Easy automatic mounting because of surface mount type with round wrapped electrode; taped serving

  • Having the current terminals and the sensing independently enables to realize easy circuit designing with no change of resistance by connecting points. 

  • High precision and stability because of high precision thin film and manufacturing methods of it

  • Having the current terminals and the sensing independently makes no error by measuring methods and no measuring error before/after the measurement.

  • Big overload causes breaking of wire so it is safe for unexpected overload.

  • Low price achieved by thin film manufacturing method

• Four types of rated power; each one is different sized

Note1: The current sensing resistance shows the resistance generating voltage relative to line current through current terminals. Please pay attention; it is not the resistance between current terminals.

Note2: The terminal resistance shows the resistance of the lines where current sensing voltage will passing and voltage will be detected. The current sensing resistance and the terminal resistance show the resistance between current/ voltage terminals.

Note3: Temperature characteristics show the change of   current sensing voltage generated by temperature changes. Please pay attention; it is not the temperature coefficient of resistance between terminals.
