So I'm building a 116 based bldc controller. It calls for a 4-5mOhm current sense resistor. I'm familiar with the typical "shunt" that looks like a thick metal jumper. However, when ordering at Mouser.com, I found this and ordered it(in addition to the typical shunt: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=14AFR004Evirtualkey58810000virtualkey588-14AFR004E . It looks like an oversized resistor, but was labeled with fragile stickers all over its packaging. Does it work the same way as a normal shunt?
Anyway, I chose the typical shunt, since this other one was labeled as fragile and my rides can be quite bumpy. If anyone has any idea what the difference is and if it would(would not) have worked, it might be a good teachable moment some, including me.
Thanks!
