Design Notes
VITROHM offers a range of low-ohm resistors for current sensing applications,
resistance ranges typically from 1 milliohm to 100 milliohms.
These devices are of non-wound construction and made from flat resistive alloy wire.
The resistor's specification depends on the material and the choosen dimensions,
namely specific-resistance, thermal conductivity and temperature coefficient are of importance.

BWF-Series – an alternative for resistor - fuse - combinations
This series has been specially developed, to offer an alternative for resistor-fuse-combinations.
CRF-Series - made especially for mains-applications
While series BWF is made for the widest range of applications, parameter of CRF-series are designed for circuits with clearly defined failure-mode-conditions.
SLR/SLP Resistors
Additionally to existing styles of their Low-Ohm (shunt) resistors, VITROHM now offers the resistance range of 10 mOhms to 3,3Ohms in flat (slim-line) ceramic cases.
