Big Power Aluminium Case Wirewound Resistors
Aluminum case wirewound resistors, also named aluminum housed wirewound resistors , features a wire coil wound around a ceramic or fiberglass core, which is then housed in an aluminum casing. This casing provides mechanical protection and acts as a heat sink to dissipate heat generated during operation. Aluminum case wirewound resistors are a type of resistor that consists of a wire coil wound around a ceramic or fiberglass core, which is then encased in an aluminum housing. These resistors are commonly used in applications where high power handling and stability are required. The aluminum case provides mechanical protection to the resistor and also acts as a heat sink, dissipating heat generated during operation. This helps in maintaining the temperature within acceptable limits and prevents the resistor from overheating. Wirewound resistors are known for their high precision and accuracy. The wire coil used in these resistors has a low temperature coefficient of resistance, meaning i
