50W 3k Ohm Wirewound Resistor

This 50-watt 3k ohm wirewound resistor uses an aluminium housing for heat dissipation. It is built for chassis mounting with screws and suits applications such as power supplies, transducers and audio equipment. The component is rated for continuous high-power load in demanding environments.

For high-power fixed-resistance circuits

Engineers needing a single 3k ohm value at 50 watts with chassis mounting will find this part suitable. Buyers who require adjustable resistance, multiple resistance values in one package, or surface-mount installation should look at other component types.

Sustained load with aluminium heat path

The aluminium casing transfers heat to a mounting plate, allowing the resistor to maintain its 50-watt rating during continuous operation. Wirewound construction provides stable resistance under prolonged thermal stress, and the design resists vibration in industrial settings.

Questions about this item

What mounting hardware do I need to attach the 3.5 mm mounting hole to a chassis?

Use M3 screws or bolts that fit the 3.5 mm hole; the aluminium housing is designed for direct chassis mounting with screws.

Will the 15.5 mm height clear adjacent low-profile components on my existing board?

The body measures 15.5 mm tall and the total length is 70 mm; verify your board spacing against those dimensions.

How can I confirm the resistor is dissipating heat correctly after installation?

Under load the aluminium housing should become warm but not excessively hot; a thermal camera or IR thermometer can verify even temperature distribution across the case.
