Littelfuse, Inc., an industrial technology manufacturing company, announced the launch of its SSA Series Current Shunt Resistors-the first of its kind in the Littelfuse portfolio. These two-terminal, ultra-low resistance shunt resistors are uniquely designed to meet the increasing demand for accurate current measurement in high-performance applications.

Unlike competing technologies such as Hall effect sensors, current transformers, flux gate sensors, and Rogowski coils, the Littelfuse Current Shunt Resistor delivers a more efficient solution that works well in both AC and DC circuits. With a higher power rating than metal foil resistors, the SSA Series excels in applications demanding rigorous current sensing due to high-power requirements.

This versatility makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of markets and applications, including:

• Automotive electronics

• EV charging

• Large appliances

• Data centers

• Industrial

• Power modules

• Frequency converters
