Unique-Bargains 2 Pcs Aluminum Case Resistor 5W 100 Ohm Wirewound

SKU CH-4GG6-G9W9M

Two 5 W, 100 Ω wire-wound resistors in aluminium housings for LED or converter circuits

  • FeaturesAluminum Case Resistor 5w;Aluminum Housed Resistor 5w 100ohm
  • 2-piece pack simplifies LED or speed-control builds
  • 5 W wire-wound element handles moderate power loads
  • 100 Ω ±5 % tolerance suits common replacement needs
  • Aluminium housing dissipates heat without a separate heatsink
  • 23 mm leads fit standard through-hole layouts

What the product is

Two 5-watt wire-wound resistors rated at 100 ohms with a 5% tolerance. Each unit has an aluminum case and 23 mm wire leads. The body measures 1.9 cm long and weighs 0.15 oz. They are supplied as a pair.

Who this suits

Hobbyists replacing LED load resistors or adding damping to converter circuits will find the values match common requirements. Builders needing a different resistance, a higher power rating or surface-mount parts should look at something else.

Behaviour under sustained load

The aluminum housing conducts heat away from the wound element so the resistor can run continuously at its 5-watt rating. Without forced airflow the case temperature will rise, but the insulated construction keeps performance stable during extended operation.

Questions about this item

What wire length do I need free on my LED circuit to solder these 23 mm pigtails?

Each resistor ships with 23 mm wires, so leave at least that much exposed conductor on your board for a clean joint.

Will the 1.9 cm aluminum case fit in the same enclosure as my old 2 W ceramic resistors?

The case is 1.9 cm long and 5 W rated, so it is larger and runs cooler than typical 2 W parts; verify the mounting holes before swapping.

How can I confirm each unit meets the 100R ±5 % spec after installation?

Power the circuit and measure voltage across the resistor; the drop should match 100R within the 5 % tolerance at your operating current.
