The WSMS5515 Series Through Hole Current Sense Resistor features a resistance value of 500 Ohms and a power rating of 3 Watts with a tolerance of 5%. It is constructed using metal oxide materials and is compliant with RoHS standards. The resistor employs a 4-terminal (Kelvin) connection design, which helps minimize measurement errors due to lead resistance. This resistor is designed for high power-to-size ratio applications and offers very low inductance of less than 0.5 nH, along with a low thermal EMF of less than 3 OºV/°C. The operating temperature range is from -65°C to +170°C, making it suitable for a variety of environments. The WSMS5515 Series is available in various resistance values, with the 500 Ohm variant being one of the options. Engineers considering this product should note its robust construction and performance characteristics, which are critical for applications requiring precise current sensing.
