50 W 8 Ω Aluminium Resistor Pair

Two gold-tone aluminium housed resistors rated at 50 W with 8 Ω resistance and ±5 % tolerance. Each unit measures 7.3 × 2.7 × 1.5 cm and weighs 48 g. Mounting tabs spaced 4.2 × 2 cm allow secure attachment to a chassis or heatsink for improved heat dissipation.

Builders needing 50 W 8 Ω load or braking resistors

Suits experiments, test rigs or automotive electronics requiring a single 8 Ω value at 50 W. Not for circuits demanding a different resistance, tighter tolerance, higher power rating or surface-mount form factor.

50 W power rating with chassis-mount tabs

The 50 W rating combined with screw tabs for heatsink mounting is the specification that determines whether this part fits the thermal and mechanical needs of the application.

Questions about this item

How hot does the aluminum-housed 50 W resistor run when dissipating full power all day?

The gold-tone aluminum case is designed for high operating temperature and includes screw tabs so you can bolt it to a chassis or heatsink for greater heat dissipation.

What mounting hardware do I already need to install the 4.2 cm × 2 cm mount-size resistors?

You need screws or bolts that fit the 4.2 cm by 2 cm mounting holes and a flat metal surface or heatsink to clamp the aluminum housing against.

Will the 8 Ω ±5 % tolerance and 2.8" × 1" × 0.6" body fit the same terminal strip as my older 50 W wire-wound resistors?

The resistance value and tolerance match standard 8 Ω 50 W specs, while the 7.3 cm × 2.7 cm × 1.5 cm aluminum housing with screw-tab mounting is physically different from typical ceramic wire-wound bodies.
