Stackpole Electronics has expanded its sensing portfolio with the CSSU2512, a 5-watt current sense resistor. The all-metal device leverages a thermally efficient structure, delivering 5W performance in a standard 2512 footprint. The CSSU2512 achieves thermal behavior comparable to that of typical 3W chips. Offered in 1–10 mΩ values with 1% tolerance and a 50-ppm TCR, the AEC-compliant resistor supports applications requiring durable, low-resistance sensing. Pricing ranges from $0.22–$0.30 in full-package quantities, with volume options available through Stackpole and authorized distributors.

Zuken’s E3.series platform now includes Panel Builder 2026, a manufacturing-focused upgrade designed to streamline control-panel and switchgear production. The software generates wiring and assembly instructions directly from electrical design data. New capabilities include Multiple Build Tracking for managing repeat panel builds, enhanced PWA 6000 wire-processing output for connected-manufacturing automation and refined wiring controls such as Skip Attribute filtering and pin-level wire sorting. Technicians gain expanded 2D/3D visualization and task-filtering tools, while the Assembly module supports late-stage design updates without disrupting in-progress work.
