Abstract: A thick film current sensing resistor is provided having an input terminal for receiving an electrical current, and an output terminal for outputting the electrical current. A film of resistive material extends between the input and output terminals and is electrically coupled to the input and output terminals so that current flows through the film of resistive material. A pair of sensing terminals are provided to sense a voltage potential across the film of resistive material. The sensed voltage provides an indication of the current. An gap is formed in the film of resistive material between the input and output terminals and the sensing terminals. The length of the gap defines a voltage sensing point of the sensing terminals.
