Power Current Sense Resistors Vishay Foil Resistors Z-Based Bulk Metal® Foil Technology Rapid ΔR Stabilization - Low WCR - Low TCR VHP4Z VFP4Z VCS331Z VCS332Z VPR247Z Product may not be to scale Rapid ΔR stabilization under transient loads, low wattage coefficient (WCR), and low temperature coefficient (TCR) are features of this new Z Based Bulk Metal® Foil series of Current Sense Resistors. The series should be selected where rapid .R stabilization and resistance stability under transient power conditions is required. These products achieve optimum performance when mounted on a chassis or cooled heat sink. The Z Based Technology provides extremely low WCR under defined conditions (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). The low absolute TCR provided by the Z Based Technology is measured over the temperature range of - 55 °C to + 125 °C, + 25 °C reference (see Figure 3). All of these devices utilizing the Z Based Technology are provided with a true 4 terminal Kelvin connection. This is a must for current sensing when the R-value is less than 100 Ω. The VHP4Z and VPR247Z types add the additional benefit of hermeticity. The welded construction and nitrogen backfill provide maximum protection against environmental stresses and insures long term stability. Typical applications for this new series includes electron beam circuitry, electron microscopes, fire control radar display systems, high speed video display, deflection amplifier circuits, constant current power supplies and forced balance electronic scales. Custom high power designs can be developed for your specific applications.

In these applications the contact resistance, lead resistance, and their TCR effect may be greater than that of the element itself and could cause significant errors if the standard 2-terminal connection is used. Figure 5 shows a high impedance measurement system where r5 approaches infinity and Im approaches zero resulting in negligible IR drop through r3 and r4 which negates their lead resistance and TCR effect. With the voltage sense leads E1 and E2 inside of r1 and r2 the resistance and TCR effect of the current leads, I1 and I2 are negated and only the resistance and TCR of the element R are sensed. This method of measurement is essential for precise current sensing.
