50W Chassis-Mount Wirewound Resistor
This 1.5k Ohm aluminium-housed resistor is rated for 50W continuous dissipation with a 5% tolerance. The wirewound element and ceramic-alloy core are sealed in a green anodised aluminium case measuring 49.5 x 27 x 15.5mm body and 73.3mm overall length. A single 3.5mm mounting hole accepts a screw for direct chassis attachment. The unit weighs 26g and is supplied as a single component.
Suited to High-Power Fixed-Load Circuits
Designers needing a robust, non-inductive load for power supplies, transducers, elevator controls or arena audio systems will find the vibration-resistant construction and high insulation suitable. Builders requiring adjustable resistance, surface-mount footprints or values outside the single 1.5k Ohm option should consider alternative component types.
Aluminium Housing Enables Direct Heat-Sinking
The integrated aluminium case acts as both enclosure and thermal path, allowing the resistor to transfer heat directly to a metal chassis or cooling plate without extra hardware. This mechanical arrangement simplifies installation in harsh environments and supports the 50W rating when the mounting surface provides adequate thermal mass.

Questions about this item
What mounting hardware do I need to install this 3.5 mm chassis-mount resistor?
A 3.5 mm mounting hole and a screw of matching diameter are required to secure the aluminium housing to your chassis or cooling plate.
Can I run this 50 W wirewound resistor alongside the lower-power carbon-film parts already on my board?
Yes, it operates independently; the aluminium housing dissipates its own heat so it does not raise the temperature of nearby low-power components.
How do I verify the 1.5 kΩ 50 W resistor is working correctly after wiring it in?
Power the circuit and measure the voltage across the resistor; it should match the expected value for 1.5 kΩ at your operating current.
