A 1R 50W Watt load resistor, often described as an aluminum wire-wound resistor in a golden housing, is a high-power resistor designed for applications requiring precise resistance and reliable performance under high-power conditions. Here’s a detailed description:
Rated for 50 watts of power dissipation, suitable for high-power applications.
Offers a resistance of 1 ohm (1R), making it ideal for applications requiring a specific low-resistance value.
Wire-Wound: Constructed with a wire wound around a ceramic core, ensuring precise resistance and excellent heat dissipation.
Aluminum Housing: Encased in an aluminum shell which aids in heat dissipation and provides durability.
The aluminum casing, often anodized in a golden color, acts as a heatsink, allowing the resistor to operate at high temperatures without degradation.
Typically designed with mounting holes for easy installation on heat sinks or chassis, ensuring secure and effective placement.
Low temperature coefficient, ensuring stable performance across a range of operating temperatures.
Robust construction provides high reliability and long operational life, even in demanding environments.
Available in non-inductive versions to avoid inductive reactance in high-frequency applications
