The LVK12R020DER is a 0.02R 500mW 4-terminal SMD high precision Current Sense Resistor enables the measurement of current flow in a circuit by monitoring a voltage drop across a precisely calibrated resistance. The LVK chip features 4-terminal also known as a Kelvin configuration. This configuration enables current to be applied through two opposite terminals and a sensing voltage to be measured across the other two terminals, eliminating the resistance and temperature coefficient of the terminals for a more accurate current measurement. Isolating the voltage and current terminals facilitates a very accurate current measurement. Ohmites proprietary technology offers an excellent temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) even for very low resistance values. The resistive element consists of a durable, anti-corrosive metal alloy that combines reliable performance with the ability to withstand harsh environments. Designed for automatic insertion.
