Electronic shunt resistor assembly

摘要

An electronic shunt resistor assembly comprises a planar shunt resistor and an electronic monitoring unit. The planar shunt resistor has a resistance element and first and second terminal bars at opposite ends of the resistance element. The electronic measuring unit has a circuit board that is supported on the planar shunt resistor and that includes input contacts for electronic components carried by the circuit board arranged along one edge of the circuit board and input/output contacts for the electronic components arranged along a opposite edge of the circuit board. A first plurality of electrical connectors connect the first terminal bar to the input contacts and a second plurality of electrical connectors connect the second terminal bar to the output contacts of the circuit board. The electrical connectors are attached to the terminal bars and the contacts solderlessly.
