Unique-Bargains 50W 2 Ohm Aluminum Case Resistor with Extended Wires

SKU CH-VPT5-5SYWZ

A 50 W wire-wound resistor rated at 2 Ω with 16.5 cm extended wires for secure connections

  • 50 W power rating handles high-current circuits
  • 2 Ω resistance with ±5 % tolerance suits LED replacement converters
  • Aluminium case dissipates heat without an insulated cover
  • 5 cm extended wires simplify solder-free connections
  • 30 g lightweight body fits tight enclosures

50 W wire-wound resistor for LED circuits

This 50 watt aluminium-housed resistor is built for LED replacement and converter applications where a precise 2 ohm load is required. The wire-wound element and extended 16.5 cm leads simplify wiring in tight enclosures. It suits installers who need a single, ready-to-mount power resistor.

2 ohm ±5 % tolerance defines the load

The rated resistance is 2 R with a J-grade tolerance of 5 %, so the actual value sits between 1.9 and 2.1 ohms. That figure determines whether the resistor matches the circuit design; no other specification overrides it.

Aluminium case spreads heat during continuous use

The metal housing acts as a heatsink, allowing the wire-wound element to dissipate 50 watts steadily rather than only in short pulses. The 5 cm body and nickel-alloy winding maintain stable resistance while the extended wires keep solder joints away from the hot surface.

Questions about this item

How does the 50 W rating translate when the resistor is mounted on a chassis?

At 50 W the aluminium case must be bolted to a metal surface with thermal paste; without that heatsink the part will overheat well below its rated power.

What does the 5 % (J) tolerance mean for the 2 Ω value in circuit?

The actual resistance will lie between 1.9 Ω and 2.1 Ω, so current-limiting or voltage-drop calculations should use that range.

How much space do the 16.5 cm extended wires and 5 cm body need for mounting?

Allow at least 5 cm for the case plus clearance for the 16.5 cm leads; the 23 mm stripped section fits standard terminal blocks or solder joints.
