Product Detail

The resistor is manufactured with precision-wound nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) or constantan resistance wire insulated by mica layers and completely encapsulated inside an aluminum alloy housing using a flame-retardant, high-insulation potting compound. This enclosed construction improves heat transfer while protecting the resistance element from dust, moisture, oxidation, and vibration.

Its ultra-thin profile, with a minimum thickness of only 6--8 mm, allows direct installation in compact electrical equipment where conventional aluminum housed resistors cannot fit. Multiple terminal styles, mounting options, and electrical specifications are available for different application requirements.

Ultra-Thin Aluminum Clad Resistor

Structural Features

Ultra-Thin Aluminum Housing

The compact aluminum alloy enclosure is only 6--8 mm thick, helping maximize installation space inside electrical cabinets and compact industrial equipment.

Fully Enclosed Potting Design

A high-insulation flame-retardant potting compound completely seals the resistance element, providing excellent resistance to dust, moisture, vibration, and oxidation.

Efficient Heat Dissipation

The aluminum housing and thermally conductive filling material quickly transfer heat to the mounting surface or heat sink, improving cooling efficiency and power density.

Flexible Configuration

Available with terminal or lead wire connections, the resistor can be customized in resistance value, power rating, dimensions, and mounting style to suit different applications.

Product Advantages

Ultra-Thin, Space-Saving Design

With a profile as thin as 6--8 mm, the resistor fits easily into compact control cabinets, servo systems, and VFDs, allowing higher installation density without sacrificing performance.

Fully Enclosed Protection

The sealed aluminum housing and flame-retardant potting compound effectively protect the internal resistance element from dust, moisture, oxidation, and vibration, improving long-term reliability.

Excellent Heat Dissipation

The aluminum enclosure acts as an efficient heat sink, rapidly transferring heat away from the resistance element. When mounted to a metal plate or external heat sink, thermal performance is further enhanced.

High Power Density

Designed to deliver high power output in a compact package, making it ideal for applications where installation space is limited but reliable energy dissipation is required.

Wide Resistance Range

Available from 0.01Ω to 120kΩ, with resistance tolerances of ±3%, ±5%, and ±10%, covering both low-resistance braking and high-resistance load applications.

Flexible Customization

DUFEW provides OEM and ODM services, including customized dimensions, resistance values, power ratings, terminal styles, lead wires, mounting configurations, and low-inductance designs.
