  • Pack of two covers dual-channel or replacement needs

Aluminium housed wire-wound resistor

Two 10 W 0.5 Ω resistors are supplied in a gold aluminium case. The wire-wound element is insulated to manage heat during continuous operation. Rod terminals with a 2.5 mm screw hole allow secure mounting on a chassis or heatsink. Each unit weighs 6 g and measures 1.9 cm body length.

Check voltage drop and mounting before ordering

Verify that 0.5 Ω at 10 W matches the required voltage drop for your LED converter or speed-control circuit. Ensure the 14 mm hole spacing suits your mounting pattern and that M2.3 or #2 hardware fits the 2.5 mm clearance holes. Confirm the 7.7 mm rod length provides enough reach for your wiring layout.

Replaces lower-power or open-frame resistors

The aluminium housing upgrades from unshielded parts by containing heat and protecting the winding. The jump is worth it when a compact 10 W rating and rugged rod terminals are needed for vibration-prone installations. Not for circuits requiring higher resistance values or surface-mount footprints.

Questions about this item

What comes in the pack and do I need to buy mounting hardware separately?

The pack contains two 10 W 0.5 Ω aluminum-housed wirewound resistors. Each unit has rod terminals with a 2.5 mm screw hole spaced 14 mm apart, so you will need #2 or M2.3 nuts and bolts to secure them.

How do I decide between the available versions or capacities for this resistor?

This listing offers a single specification: 10 W power rating and 0.5 Ω resistance with 5 % tolerance. Choose it when your circuit calls for exactly those values; otherwise look for a different power or resistance rating.

What does the 10 W rating mean once the resistor is installed in a real circuit?

It means the resistor can continuously dissipate up to 10 watts of heat when its aluminum case is properly mounted to a metal surface. The 1.9 cm long body and 6 g weight give a compact profile, but adequate thermal contact is essential to reach the rated power.
