CODICO Whitepaper: How to select the right shunt resistor

Choosing the right resistor for an application is a delicate balance of technical performance, reliability, and cost. In this two-part whitepaper, we explore the critical aspects of shunt resistor selection, focusing first on understanding the key technical parameters provided in a data sheet, and then delving into the influence of heat development on resistor performance. These insights are essential for ensuring precise current measurement in demanding environments such as industrial electronics, automotive systems, power supplies, and telecommunications.

Whether you are looking to optimise performance or reduce costs, this guide offers practical knowledge into interpreting technical data and making the right component choice.
