Bourns announced that its SSA-2 Series analog current sensors are now available with an AEC-Q compliant components assembly option. The option is intended for engineers developing high-reliability power systems where component qualification is required.
In automotive, industrial, and energy applications, passive devices face harsh conditions including temperature cycling, vibration, and mechanical shock, often requiring AEC-Q qualification standards. The AEC-Q compliant assembly option provides a path to compliance without restarting the qualification process. It aligns with automotive OEM requirements and supports PPAP and automotive validation workflows.
The SSA-2 Series features high-accuracy current measurement with very low insertion loss across the full operating range. It provides electrically isolated signal output for safety separation between the measurement circuit and the power path. The sensors integrate a shunt and signal conditioning in a compact package, reducing board space and component count. They offer high bandwidth capability to handle fast current transients without signal distortion and maintain excellent linearity and thermal stability across demanding environmental conditions.
Target applications include DC-DC converters and Battery Management Systems (BMS), motor drives and industrial power control systems, power distribution units in automotive and commercial vehicle platforms, and high-reliability power systems subject to AEC-Q qualification requirements.
The AEC-Q compliant assembly option for the Bourns SSA-2 Series Analog Current Sensors is available now. Full specifications and ordering information are available at bourns.com/products/sensors/current-sensors. Samples may be requested through Bourns Customer Service.
