Resistor Wirewound Chassis Mount

This specific product line is not for new designs. Chassis mount resistors are manufactured using wirewound resistor technology in a large ceramic core molded into an extruded aluminum, chassis-mount housing. The wirewound design maximizes pulse handling, while the aluminum housing provides superior heat conduction.
For applications where the design of the resistor is to promote heat loss and cooling, a chassis mount resistor is an ideal resistor for your next design. Our chassis mount pulse-withstanding resistors are preferred by design engineers for their low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR).
Chassis mount low TCR resistors that can be attached to heat sinks to dissipate heat, increase the capability of the resistor. Panel mount resistors are ideal for shunt and current monitoring circuits.
Johanson Dielectrics RWC chassis mount resistors are available with non-inductive windings. Four terminal designs are available as well for improved thermal management. Resistance values range from 0.005 ohm up to 250k ohm.
