Characteristics of Prosemi Almj12 Current Sensing Resistor
Below, from the four aspects of “proprietary processing technology achieving ultra-low resistance,” “ultra-low inductance,” “low thermoelectric EMF,” and “metal material,” briefly explain the advantages and implementation mechanisms of current-sensing resistors:
Proprietary Processing Technology Achieving Ultra-Low Resistance
- Uses precision stamping, etching, or laser-cutting processes to form an extremely thin and uniform resistive film layer on the substrate;
- Through multiple tightly controlled steps that manage film thickness and geometry, the resistance value can be tuned accurately down to micro-ohm or even lower levels;
- Highly automated production with in-line testing ensures batch-to-batch consistency and ultra-tight tolerances (±0.1% or better).
Ultra-Low Inductance
- Implements a flattened, symmetrical element layout to minimize loop area in the conductor path;
- Adopts SMD packages or flat bolt-on structures that lie close to the PCB’s ground plane copper for heat dissipation while shortening the current path;
- Uses multi-layer complementary routing and equivalent-impedance optimization to suppress parasitic inductance, meeting fast-dynamic measurement requirements.
Low Thermoelectric EMF
- Chooses alloys with very low Seebeck coefficients (e.g., CuNi, Manganin);
- Uses identical or closely matched metals for both the resistor element and its terminals to minimize junction thermoelectric voltages;
- Strictly controls soldering/crimping temperatures and durations to avoid localized overheating that would introduce EMF offsets.
Metal Material
- Selects high-thermal-conductivity, high-strength metal alloys as the base, balancing mechanical robustness and thermal management;
- Provides a metal housing or terminals that can directly couple thermally to heatsinks, chassis, or large PCB copper pours for efficient heat removal;
- Offers excellent shock, vibration, and corrosion resistance, suitable for harsh industrial or automotive environments.
