Product Overview
TEPRO TM Series, 5 Watt, 1 Ohm 0.1% Aluminum Chassis-Mount Power Resistor
This aluminum-bodied resistor provides a stable low ohm/Ω value for assemblies that need both controlled resistance and reliable power handling. Its bolt-down format improves thermal transfer into a panel or heatsink, and a practical installation tip is to check for uniform surface contact to support predictable dissipation. This helps maintain consistent behavior in current-sense or load roles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this resistor handle continuous power?
Yes, when mounted to a suitable metal chassis or heatsink, the aluminum body supports 5 W class duty.
Is the 0.1% tolerance useful for sensing?
The tight tolerance supports applications requiring consistent low-value measurements.
Does the aluminum housing improve performance?
It aids heat transfer into the mounting surface, supporting stable operation under load.
Can it be used in different environments?
The TM series supports operation in air, oil, vacuum, or inert atmospheres.
You can bolt it to a metal panel for effective heat transfer and use its low-temperature-coefficient design to build reliable current-sense or damping stages that remain stable during operation.
