Additional Details

The TR600-150-2 has a resistance value of 150 micro-ohms (µΩ). The four-terminal connection, also known as a Kelvin connection, eliminates the errors caused by the resistance of the leads connecting the resistor to the circuit. This is crucial for accurate measurement when dealing with very low resistance values. The power rating specifies the maximum power the resistor can dissipate without exceeding its temperature limits. The specific power rating will be dependent on factors like the mounting method and ambient temperature.

Low TCR (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) is another important characteristic, indicating how much the resistance changes with temperature. A low TCR ensures that the resistance remains relatively constant over a wide temperature range.
