LVK Series Four Terminal High Precision Current Sense Current sense resistors enable the measurement of current flow in a circuit by monitoring a voltage drop across a precisely cali- brated resistance. The LVK chip features four terminals, 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 (see schematic) FeatureS facilitates a very accurate current measurement. Ohmite’s pro- • Designed for automatic insertion prietary technology offers an excellent Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) even for very low resistance values. The • Industry standard sizes resistive element consists of a durable, anti-corrosive metal • High-precision Kelvin connect capability alloy that combines reliable performance with the ability to in a small package withstand harsh environments.
