INTRODUCTION
Model CSM3637F is a surface mount chip resistor
designed with 4 pads for Kelvin connection. Utilizing
Bulk Metal
®
Foil as the resistance element, it provides
enhanced characteristic capabilities resulting in
superior performance when compared with other
resistor technologies. The unique combination of Z Foil
technology along with the designed 4 pads lead frame
configuration results in significant reduction of the
component’s sensitivity to applied power changes such
as power coefficient of resistance (PCR) and thermal
resistance.

ABOUT CSM3637F
The CSM3637F is a current sensing solution that was
developed with a low TCR to meet demands for stable
resistive product solutions in the industry. As it is critical
for this resistor to reach thermal equilibrium quickly in
circuits that require fast response or where the current
changes swiftly, the CSM3637F is used where the
emphasis is on accuracy and repeatability under stress
conditions in applications requiring precision resistor
performance up to 3 W. Applications as EB systems,
switching power supplies, force-balanced scales all rely
on current sense resistors to develop a precise voltage
proportional to the current.
The 4-pad CSM3637F Bulk Metal
®
Foil surface mount
resistor features an improved load-life stability of max
±0.05% at + 70°C for 2000 h (rated power), a TCR of
±10 ppm/°C maximum from –55°C to +125°C, +25°C ref.,
and a tolerance of ±0.1%.
