Unique-Bargains 100W 8ohm 5% Aluminum Housed Wirewound Resistor Gold Tone

SKU CH-N32K-QFXK8

A 100 W, 8 Ω wirewound resistor in an aluminium housing for heat dissipation

  • Key featuresHeat dissipation;small size;high power load;good performance
  • Handles 100 W continuous load with ±5 % tolerance
  • Aluminium housing draws heat away for stable operation
  • Compact 2.4" × 0.87" × 0.6" body fits tight spaces
  • Gold-tone finish resists corrosion in harsh environments
  • Pre-drilled 0.12" hole simplifies panel mounting

What it is

This is a 100W aluminium-housed wirewound resistor with an 8ohm resistance value and ±5% tolerance. The gold-tone casing measures 2.4 by 0.87 by 0.6 inches and weighs 34g. It is supplied new as a single component for electronics projects or industrial replacements.

How it fits

The aluminium body is designed for mounting on a cooling plate to manage heat dissipation in harsh environments. A 0.12-inch mounting hole allows secure fastening, while the compact footprint saves space inside enclosures. Standard or non-inductive winding options suit various circuit requirements.

Who it suits

Buyers needing a high-power, vibration-resistant resistor for power supplies, transducers, elevators or professional audio gear will find it suitable. Those who require a different resistance value, power rating or tolerance should look at alternative components.

Questions about this item

How much continuous power can the 100 W wirewound resistor handle before it overheats?

The resistor is rated for 100 W continuous dissipation when mounted on a suitable cooling plate.

How hot or noisy does the aluminum-housed resistor get during all-day operation?

The aluminum casing provides silent, passive heat dissipation; temperature rise depends on mounting and airflow.

What mounting hardware is needed to install the 6 × 2.2 × 1.5 cm aluminum resistor?

Two holes of 0.3 cm diameter accept standard M3 or #4 screws for direct attachment to a heatsink or chassis.
