RS PRO 0.5 mΩ, 1575 Manganin Alloy Surface Mount Resistor 1 % 6 W

Use RS PRO SMD resistors which are high-power metal shunt resistors designed to operate at high temperatures and can handle power ratings up to several watts. They are often used in applications where accurate measurement of current is required, such as in power supplies and battery chargers. A key feature of a shunt resistor is its ability to dissipate heat efficiently, they also have a low-temperature coefficient, which ensures accurate measurement over a wide range of temperatures.

These resistors are made from manganese copper or nickel-chromium, which provides high power dissipation and low resistance values. The resistor element is a flat, rectangular shape with metal contacts at each end for easy soldering onto the PCB.
