Vishay Dale WSL0603R0150FEA 0.015 ohm SMD Resistors 90 PCS
Full Description & History
Genuine Vishay Dale WSL0603R0150FEA metal-strip surface-mount current-sensing resistors, supplied as one package containing 90 pieces from original DigiKey distributor-labeled stock.
These miniature 0603 SMD resistors feature a nominal resistance of 0.015 ohm (15 milliohm), ±1% tolerance, and 0.1W power rating.
Metal-strip current-sensing resistors are designed to provide low resistance with predictable electrical characteristics. They are commonly used to monitor current by measuring the voltage drop across the resistor.
Suitable applications include power management, battery monitoring, DC-DC converters, industrial controls, electronic instrumentation, power-supply feedback circuits, and PCB repair.
Technical specifications include a 0603 (1608 Metric) surface-mount package, metal-strip construction, two terminals, and a nominal footprint of 1.6 × 0.8 mm.
The original DigiKey distributor packaging is dated August 19, 2021.
\- HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Vishay Intertechnology was founded in 1962 and developed into a major international manufacturer of passive electronic components and discrete semiconductors.
  Vishay Dale has a long history of manufacturing precision resistors, power resistors, current-sensing components, and specialty resistance products for industrial electronics, instrumentation, and communications equipment.
  Current-sensing resistor technology became increasingly important as electronic power-management systems required improved methods of measuring and controlling electrical current.
  Low-resistance metal-strip components allow current to be measured through a relatively small voltage drop while minimizing the power losses associated with higher resistance values.
  Vishay's WSL series was developed to provide low-resistance current-sensing components in compact surface-mount packages.
  The WSL0603R0150FEA represents this technology in a miniature 0603 configuration with a nominal resistance of 15 milliohm and ±1% tolerance.
