Thermal EMF: 0.05 V/C typical Vishay Models VHP-3 and VHP-4 offer all welded Voltage coefficient: < 0.1 ppm/V construction and screw mounting directly to a metal heat sink Non inductive: 0.08 H for maximum heat transfer. Hermetic sealing and nitrogen back fill provide the maximum protection against Non hot spot design environmental stresses, thereby ensuring long term stability. Terminal finishes available: A special feature of this construction is Kovar eyelets and VHP-3 and VHP-4: lead (Pb)-free OFHC solder plated copper leads providing the lowest tin/lead alloy thermal EMFs in the industry. VPR247: gold plated Vishay Model VPR247 has many of the advantages of the Any value available within resistance range (e.g. 1K234) VHP-4 but with significantly reduced size and weight. It also Prototype samples available from 48 h.

In these applications the contact resistance, lead resistance, and their TCR effect may be greater than that of the element itself and could cause significant errors if the standard 2-terminal connection is used. Figure 2 shows a high impedance measurement system where r approaches infinity and I approaches zero resulting in negligible IR drop through r 5 m 3 and r which negates their lead resistance and TCR effect. With the voltage sense leads E and E inside of r and r the 4 1 2 1 2 resistance and TCR effect of the current leads, I and I are negated and only the resistance and TCR of the element R are 1 2 sensed. This method of measurement is essential for precise current sensing.
