Unique-Bargains 50W 10 Ohm Chassis Mount Wirewound Resistor Gold

SKU CH-B3VT-G4YEY

A 50 W wirewound power resistor rated at 10 Ω ±5 % with an aluminium chassis-mount housing for heat dissipation

  • Key featuresCool plate Chassis Mount Aluminum Housing resistor;high powe
  • High 50 W power rating for demanding circuits
  • Aluminium housing draws heat away from the element
  • Chassis-mount design with 3.5 mm screw holes secures the resistor
  • Compact 49.8 × 27 × 15.5 mm body fits tight spaces
  • ±5 % tolerance keeps resistance stable at 10 Ω

50W Chassis-Mount Wirewound Resistor

This 10 ohm aluminium-housed resistor handles 50 W continuous dissipation and is built for chassis mounting with a single screw hole. It suits engineers and technicians who need a rugged power resistor for industrial equipment, power supplies or doorbell circuits. The wirewound element and metal case give stable performance in high-vibration environments.

10 Ω ±5 % at 50 W

The resistance value and power rating are the decisive figures: 10 ohms with a 5 % tolerance and a 50 W rating. If your circuit demands a different ohmic value, a tighter tolerance or a higher wattage, this part will not meet the requirement.

Screw-mount on a flat metal surface

Mount the 3.5 mm hole directly onto a cooling plate or chassis using a single screw; the 49.8 x 27 x 15.5 mm body and 73.5 mm overall length fit tight spaces. The main installation error is omitting thermal paste or a heatsink, which lets the case overheat at full load.

Questions about this item

What does the 50 W rating mean once the resistor is installed in a circuit?

It means the resistor can continuously dissipate 50 watts of heat when its aluminium case is properly mounted to a cooling surface, keeping the internal wirewound element within safe temperature limits.

How do the chassis-mount screw holes limit the way I can connect this resistor?

The 3.5 mm mounting hole lets you bolt the 49.8 mm long aluminium housing directly to a metal plate or heatsink, so the resistor stays fixed while you solder wires to the two terminals.

What physical space do I need to fit this resistor on my board or chassis?

The body measures 49.8 mm long, 27 mm wide and 15.5 mm high, with an overall length of 73.5 mm including terminals, so allow at least that footprint plus clearance for the mounting screw.
