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
