Two gold aluminium-cased wirewound resistors with axial leads

Unique-Bargains

Unique-Bargains 5W 470 Ohm Wirewound Resistor 2 Pcs

SKU CH-4452-6BVA6

Two 5-watt wirewound resistors rated at 470 ohms with aluminium housings for heat dissipation

  • Key featuresAluminum Case Resistor 5w;Aluminum Housed Resistor 5w;wire w
  • 5 W power rating suits LED replacement circuits
  • 470 Ω resistance with 5 % tolerance
  • Aluminium housed wirewound construction for heat dissipation
  • 9 cm body length and 23 mm wire leads
  • Pack contains two 4 g resistors

Passive component for LED circuits

The Unique-Bargains 5 W 470 Ω wirewound resistor comes in a pack of two, each housed in an aluminum case that acts as a heatsink. Rated for 5 W dissipation with a ±5 % tolerance, it uses nickel-alloy wire terminated by 23 mm leads. The gold-colored body measures 1.9 cm long and weighs 4 g.

Suited to low-power current limiting

These resistors suit hobbyists and repair technicians who need a single 470 Ω value to limit LED current or drop voltage in small converter stages. Builders requiring adjustable resistance, multiple values in one kit, or surface-mount parts should look elsewhere.

Aluminum-housed 5 W rating

The aluminum case lets the resistor shed heat without an external heatsink, making the 5 W continuous rating the specification that decides whether the part fits the thermal budget of the circuit.

Questions about this item

Will the 5 W wire-wound resistor fit alongside the 0.75 in components already on my board?

The main body is 1.9 cm (0.75 in) long, so compare that dimension with the space between your existing parts.

How can I confirm the 470 Ω resistor is working after I solder the 23 mm leads?

Measure resistance across the leads with a multimeter; a reading within 5 % of 470 Ω shows the wire-wound element is intact.

The pack lists 2 resistors — are mounting brackets or thermal pads included?

Only the two 5 W 470 Ω aluminum-housed resistors are supplied; any mounting hardware or thermal interface material must be sourced separately.
