390 Ohm 25W wirewound resistors for chassis mounting
This pack contains five aluminium-housed wirewound resistors rated at 390 ohms with a 5% tolerance and a 25W power rating. They are designed for chassis mounting using screws and suit applications such as power supplies, transducers, elevator systems and audio equipment. The aluminium casing provides a path for heat to move into a mounting surface.
Thermals and power handling in normal use
Each resistor body measures 27 x 16 x 15.5 mm and the total length including terminals is 53 mm. The aluminium housing is intended to conduct heat away from the wirewound element into a chassis or cooling plate. At the rated 25W the component relies on that mechanical thermal path; without adequate mounting the case temperature will rise quickly.
Included hardware and mounting details
The package supplies five resistors only; no brackets, thermal compound or wiring are included. Mounting holes are 3.5 mm in diameter, spaced for direct screw fixing to a metal panel. The green anodised finish identifies the 390 ohm value but does not change the electrical or thermal characteristics.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the 3.5 mm chassis holes and what step do people miss?
Fasten each resistor through its 3.5 mm mounting hole to a flat metal plate using screws and thermal paste; the step often missed is applying the paste so the aluminium housing can transfer its 25 W rating into the plate.
What maintenance or replacement will these 390 ohm 25 W wirewound units need later?
They have no moving parts; inspect the screw torque and the green aluminium casing for corrosion or cracked ceramic insulation after long service, and replace any unit whose resistance drifts outside the ±5 % tolerance.
What limit appears first when the resistor runs at 25 W continuously?
The aluminium housing temperature rises until the chassis plate can no longer draw heat away; if the plate or airflow is inadequate, the resistor body exceeds its safe operating temperature before the wire element itself fails.
