Vishay / Dale WSLP 18 High Power Metal Strip® Resistors

Vishay / Dale WSLP..18 High Power Metal Strip® Resistors are an 0805 and 1206-size family of very high power resistors (2W) with low resistance values (down to 0.005Ω). These 0805 and 1206-sized resistors exhibit very low inductance (0.5nH to 5nH), excellent frequency response to 50 MHz, and low thermal EMF (< 3 μV/°C). Vishay / Dale WSLP..18 High Power Metal Strip Resistors are ideal for current sensing, voltage division, and pulse applications as well as power supplies and amplifiers, instruments, and shunts.
