Aluminum Case Resistor 10W 8 Ohm

The Unique-Bargains wirewound resistor is rated at 10 watts with an 8 ohm resistance value and 5% tolerance. Its aluminum housing provides heat dissipation for sustained operation in power circuits.

Suits LED and speed-control circuits

This component fits applications such as LED current limiting or converter speed control where a 10 watt 8 ohm load is required. It is not suited for designs needing higher power dissipation, different resistance values, or surface-mount installation.

10 watt capacity with rod terminals

The resistor handles continuous loads up to its 10 watt rating through nickel-alloy windings inside the aluminum case. Rod terminals with 2.5 mm screw holes spaced 14 mm apart allow secure through-hole mounting on PCBs or chassis.

Questions about this item

What screw size fits the 2.5 mm mounting holes on this 10 W 8 Ω resistor?

The holes accept #2 or M2.3 nuts, spaced 14 mm apart centre-to-centre.

Will the rod posts accept the same lugs as my older axial-lead power resistors?

No — the 7.7 mm rods have through-holes for ring terminals or spade lugs, not for wrapping bare wire.

How can I confirm the 10 W rating is being met once the resistor is mounted?

Measure case temperature under load; the aluminium housing should stay within its thermal limits when dissipating 10 W.
