High Power Shunts

Upon request, Bourns can offer customized parts to meet a customer’s required shape, mechanical and electrical characteristics. Additional percussion welded current sense pins are available in order to connect current sense resistors properly to the circuit board. Keeping current sense traces/wires as short as possible between the shunt and current measurement chipset is very important for measuring accuracy. That is why Bourns supports customers with pre-assembled modules integrating shunts into a circuit board which can include additional components such as connector headers and NTC thermistors, based on customer request.

All Bourns® components approved for typical automotive applications are manufactured in facilities that are fully certified to TS 16949, and have been tested, qualified using the AEC-Q standard for passive components and presented to the customer for selection and approval using PPAP. Bourns also offers customers access to our application test lab.

Bourns has a long history of serving the automotive market with quality products. With excellent customer service and the availability of field application engineers, Bourns works closely with automotive system designers to help customers with layout support and making modifications as requested by customer. Bourns performs surge tests and offers application and customer-specific testing.
