Yageo released its PF1206 current sensor designed for mini portable device applications. Featuring a resistance range of 1 to 50 milli-ohms and temperature coefficient of 75ppm/ºC, Yageo's PF1206, manufactured using in-house metal foil and metal alloy processing technologies to combine PCB substrate and resistance foil, is capable of delivering 5-10% less temperature rise than similar products. PF1206, available in both 0.25 and 0.5 watts, is particularly suitable for use in the power control circuit of Netbook and notebook computer or the hard disk of other compact portable devices that have stringent space as well as current sensing and over-current protection requirements.
