Additional Details:

The RL-3264 series from Susumu are constructed using a thin film resistive element on a high-quality ceramic substrate. The terminals are typically plated with nickel and tin for excellent solderability. The '6' in the part number refers to the resistor's power rating and physical dimensions within the RL-3264 series. The 'J' indicates a tolerance of ±5%.

The low resistance value of 0.002 Ohms makes this resistor ideal for current sensing applications, where a small voltage drop across the resistor is proportional to the current flowing through it. The thin film construction provides excellent stability and low noise, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements. The typical operating temperature range for this resistor is -55°C to +155°C.

Proper selection of a resistor involves considering factors such as power dissipation, operating temperature range, and required tolerance. Susumu provides comprehensive datasheets for their products, offering detailed specifications and performance characteristics to aid in the selection process. The RL-3264-6-R002-J offers a balance of precision and cost for applications where very tight tolerances are not required but stable, low-value resistance is essential.
