Aluminum-housed wire-wound resistor
This pack contains two 10-watt 10-ohm resistors built with nickel-alloy wire windings inside a gold-coloured aluminium case. The housing acts as a heatsink, allowing the components to dissipate power effectively in applications such as LED drivers or motor-speed converters. Each unit measures 1.9 centimetres in body length and weighs 0.15 ounces.
Rod terminals with mounting holes
Connections are made through rod terminals that feature a 2.5-millimetre screw hole, sized for #2 or M2.3 fasteners. The hole centres sit 14 millimetres apart, giving a fixed pitch for secure PCB or chassis mounting. The 7.7-millimetre rod length provides enough protrusion for soldering or crimping without excessive lead length.
10-watt continuous rating
Each resistor handles a steady 10 watts at 10 ohms with a five-percent tolerance band. The aluminium case gives thermal headroom for sustained loads in converter or braking circuits, but the fixed resistance and power rating mean the pair cannot serve designs that need adjustable values or higher dissipation. Builders needing different ohmages or wattages must source alternative parts.

Questions about this item
Will the aluminum case need any maintenance or replacement over time?
The aluminum case is a sealed, insulated housing that protects the wound wire; no user-serviceable parts exist inside, so no scheduled maintenance or case replacement is required.
What thermal limit appears first when the resistor runs at 10 W continuously?
At the rated 10 W the wire-wound element reaches its maximum safe temperature first; the aluminum case then transfers that heat to the mounting surface, so adequate heatsinking prevents the limit from being exceeded.
How much heat and noise does the resistor produce during all-day operation?
It generates heat proportional to the 10 W load and is completely silent because it has no moving parts or fan; the gold-finished aluminum case acts as the sole cooling surface.
