About this manual

Nikkohm high‑power wire‑wound resistors are offered in flat‑shaped aluminum‑housed versions with power ratings from 50 W to 500 W. They are suitable for industrial power electronics, switching power supplies, motor‑control braking, and automotive rush‑current protection. The resistors feature a minimum resistance of 1 Ω with tight tolerance and a 10 mm thickness for efficient heat dissipation.

Key specifications include power ratings up to 500 W, resistance tolerances as low as ±0.5 %, operating temperature ranges of –55 °C to +200 °C (cement‑filled) or –55 °C to +150 °C (silicone‑filled), and a compact diameter of 4‑5.3 mm. Ordering information provides part numbers, insulating materials, and lead‑wire options such as 0.75 mm² leads.
