Abstract

A shunt resistor for use with current sensing and power hybrid circuits such as a solid state power controller which is adapted to conduct the full load current and serve as a current sensor comprises a base layer of aluminum electrically isolated from and thermally coupled to a circuit layer of monel 401 through a ceramic filled polymer layer. The shunt is provided with spaced wire bond portions for attachment to circuit traces of the controller.
