Application

Lighting LED

Current measurement for lighting systems in vehicles is necessary to monitor light output, increase reliability and road safety, ensure compliance with standards and optimize efficiency. Our high-precision shunt solutions ensure reliable monitoring at higher currents and low amperes.

Optimized current measurement for modern LED headlights

With the increasing complexity of modern lighting systems, shunt-based current measurement is becoming indispensable for automotive suppliers. It enables precise lighting control, protects LEDs from overloading, increases energy efficiency and supports smart lighting functions - for greater safety, better visibility and a longer service life in the vehicle.

Precision shunt resistors for maximum accuracy

Lighting-LED Automotive

The switch from xenon and halogen headlights to LED systems (up to several hundred LEDs) for individual control and complex projection means that ever higher currents and accuracies are required. Nevertheless, compared to many other applications, only a few amperes are required here and the typical sizes are between 0603 and 1206.

We recommend the following shunt resistors for this application:

 

Compact
sizes

Standard SMD sizes available from 0603 to 1206.

Efficiency & performance

Meeting the requirements for higher currents and accuracies with just a few amperes.

High
precision

Optimized current measurement for precise individual control and complex projection of LEDs.
