Bourns is proud to announce the release of the Model SSD Shunt Sensor – Digital Series with CANbus or RS-485/MODBUS Interface. This new series features innovatively designed digital DC shunt-based current sensors that provide superior accuracy, stability, and electrical isolation over a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +115°C, making them suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Michel Potvin, President of Bourns’ Sensors Division, stated, “We are excited to bring this new range of sensors to market. This new family of small and highly integrated digital System-in-Package (SiP) devices is ideal for various battery-related current sensing applications, including EV charging stations, energy storage, renewable energy generation infrastructure, industrial motor drives, and building automation systems. They will allow design engineers to bring higher levels of efficiencies to their designs.”
