Product Overview
The WSL2512R0680FEA from Vishay Dale is a 68mΩ (0.068Ω) ±1% Power Metal Strip current sense resistor in a 2512 (6432 metric) package. Closely related to the 50mΩ variant, this resistor provides a slightly higher sense voltage for the same current, improving measurement resolution in lower-current applications.
