Bourns, has introduced an AEC-Q-compliant option for its SSA-2 Series analog current sensors. This allows engineers designing high-reliability power systems to meet formal component qualification requirements without restarting the AEC-Q process.

In automotive, industrial, and energy applications, components often face harsh conditions like temperature cycling, vibration, and mechanical shock, making AEC-Q compliance essential. Using AEC-Q-certified parts helps engineering teams stay on tight development schedules, meet OEM expectations—including PPAP—and reduce system-level compliance risks.

The SSA-2 Series delivers precise current measurement with minimal insertion loss, electrically isolated signal outputs, and integrated shunt and signal-conditioning elements in a compact design. It offers high bandwidth for capturing fast transients while maintaining linearity and thermal stability in demanding environments.

Common applications include DC-DC converters, battery management systems, motor drives, industrial power control systems, and automotive power distribution units—all of which benefit from AEC-Q qualification.

The AEC-Q-compliant assembly option for the Bourns SSA-2 Series analog current sensors is available immediately. Detailed specifications and ordering information are available on the company’s website, and sample requests can be submitted through customer support.
