WFH230L50RJ Ohmite

WFH Series Aluminum Housed Wirewound Power Ohmites new flat core winding technology allows for wire- wound heatsinkable resistors affording a very low profile, and superior thermal transfer characteristics when compared to conventional aluminum housed wirewound resistors. FeatureS Close mounting of heat sensitive components is possible Solder lug, wire, and Fast-on amp ter- due to only a slight rise of the temperature on the aluminum minations profile. Multiple resistors in one profile possible No heat sink compound is required because of large mount- ing surface.

Maximum base plate temperature of the resistor must be monitored and kept within specified limits to establish the power rating. Best technique is to attach a thermocouple to the side of the base plate of the resistor. Temperature of plastic housing or heat sink cannot be used to establish rating of the resistor.
