ROHM shunt resistors were developed using metallic material processing technology cultivated over many years to ensure compatibility with a wide range of applications, from portable devices such as smartphones to automotive and industrial systems requiring a greater degree of reliability. This allowed ROHM to adopt a special high performance alloy for the resistive element, enabling high accuracy current detection with excellent temperature characteristics.

PSR Series
■Overview
The PSR series are high power shunt resistors covering the ultra-low ohmic (0.2m?) region. The resistors adopt a convex shape using precision welding technology to minimize heat generation and achieve higher rated power, making them ideal for current detection in large current circuits that demand superior accuracy.
■Applications
- Automotive (EPS, battery monitoring, HVAC)
- Industrial (power conditioners, server power supplies, base stations, ESS)
- Large appliances (AC, refrigerators)
GMR Series (Under Development)
■Overview
The GMR series of high power shunt resistors are characterized by high heat dissipation and superior reliability. Optimizing the heat dissipation pathway makes it possible to ensure higher rated power in a compact form factor.
