Aluminium House Resistor

CONSTRUCTION

Aluminium housed Resistor are wound with Nickel Copper or Nickel Chromium wire for obtaining required resistance on a ceramic core fitted with end caps. The winded assembly is then encapsulated in a anodised Heat sink using high temperature moulding compound.

FEATURES

• Low Cost, Light weight & Compact.
• Non-inductive Type available.
• Custom Values available.
  

APPLICATION

These Resistors are applied where high wattage dissipation is required in a small space. The metal heat sink ensures good heat dispersal & allows a low hot-spot temperature. Major application include Induction furnace, Medical equipments, Humidity Chambers etc.
