Product Overview
Dale RH-10 wirewound resistor marked 2KΩ, 10W, 5%. This chassis-mount power resistor uses an aluminum housing designed to transfer heat into a mounting surface for proper dissipation. The RH series is widely used in industrial electronics, power supplies, and control systems where stable resistance under load is required.
The resistor is rated for 10 watts when mounted to an appropriate heatsink or metal chassis. Wirewound construction provides predictable performance in power applications, with the tradeoff of inherent inductance typical of this resistor type.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the full 10W rating usable without a heatsink?
The 10 watt rating applies when properly mounted to a suitable heatsink or metal chassis. Free-air operation reduces allowable dissipation.
What tolerance is this resistor?
This unit is marked 5%, indicating ±5% resistance tolerance.
Does this resistor have inductance?
Yes. As a wirewound resistor, it has inherent parasitic inductance typical of this construction type.
Can this be used in audio applications?
It can be used in crossover networks or amplifier circuits within its power and voltage limits.
Is more stock available?
Available quantity reflects current inventory on hand.
Compact, simple, and built to shed heat. Mount it correctly and it will do steady work wherever controlled resistance under load is needed.
