Unique-Bargains 100W 8ohm 5% Aluminum Housed Wirewound Resistor Gold Tone
A 100 W, 8 Ω wirewound resistor in an aluminium housing for heat dissipation
- Featuresheat dissipation;small size;high power load;good performance
- Handles 100 W continuous load with ±5 % tolerance
- Aluminium housing draws heat away for stable operation
- Compact 2.4" × 0.87" × 0.6" body fits tight spaces
- Gold-tone finish resists corrosion in harsh environments
- Pre-drilled 0.12" hole simplifies panel mounting
What it is
This is a 100W aluminium-housed wirewound resistor with an 8ohm resistance value and ±5% tolerance. The gold-tone casing measures 2.4 by 0.87 by 0.6 inches and weighs 34g. It is supplied new as a single component for electronics projects or industrial replacements.
How it fits
The aluminium body is designed for mounting on a cooling plate to manage heat dissipation in harsh environments. A 0.12-inch mounting hole allows secure fastening, while the compact footprint saves space inside enclosures. Standard or non-inductive winding options suit various circuit requirements.
Who it suits
Buyers needing a high-power, vibration-resistant resistor for power supplies, transducers, elevators or professional audio gear will find it suitable. Those who require a different resistance value, power rating or tolerance should look at alternative components.

Questions about this item
How much continuous power can the 100 W wirewound resistor handle before it overheats?
The resistor is rated for 100 W continuous dissipation when mounted on a suitable cooling plate.
How hot or noisy does the aluminum-housed resistor get during all-day operation?
The aluminum casing provides silent, passive heat dissipation; temperature rise depends on mounting and airflow.
What mounting hardware is needed to install the 6 × 2.2 × 1.5 cm aluminum resistor?
Two holes of 0.3 cm diameter accept standard M3 or #4 screws for direct attachment to a heatsink or chassis.
