VPG Foil Resistors offers a specialized range of current sense resistors designed for precise, high-efficiency power measurement and control across a wide range of applications. Built with Z1-Foil®, Bulk Metal® Foil, and metal strip technologies, these resistors provide excellent thermal performance, long-term stability, and minimal resistance drift — even in dynamic load conditions and high-temperature environments.
Our portfolio spans:
-
4-terminal Kelvin-connected foil resistors with resistance values as low as 0.3 mΩ
-
High-power surface-mount current sensors up to 12 W in compact packages
-
Hermetically sealed modules for critical applications such as aerospace and defense
-
Custom current shunt assemblies tested up to ±8000 A and ±20000 A
-
Precision matched resistor networks to improve circuit efficiency and accuracy
These resistors are optimized for battery management systems (BMS), power conversion, motor drives, industrial control, EV platforms, data centers, and instrumentation. Their excellent load-life stability, low TCR, and thermal EMF performance help designers meet tight error budgets and achieve accurate power and current measurement without sacrificing reliability.
Whether your application demands long-term stability, low inductance, or high-power handling — VPG’s current sense resistors deliver the performance needed to monitor and control power with confidence.
