Product Overview
TEPRO TM 5 Watt, 2 Ohm 0.1% Aluminum Chassis-Mount Power Resistor
This aluminum-bodied resistor supports low ohm/Ω applications where stable resistance and reliable thermal behavior are required in compact power assemblies. Its bolt-down housing assists heat transfer into a panel or heatsink, and a simple installation tip is to ensure full surface contact for consistent dissipation. This supports predictable performance in sensing and load roles.

Product Overview
The TEPRO TM series is a wirewound, chassis-mount family built for low-value, accurate resistance in small power formats. This 2 Ω, 1% unit provides controlled tolerance suitable for current-sense, snubber, or load applications. The ceramic core supports thermal stability, while the extruded aluminum housing enables panel mounting to improve heat conduction. Solder-lug or tab terminals offer straightforward wiring in industrial and test setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 1% tolerance suitable for sensing work?
Yes, the tight tolerance helps maintain predictable low-value measurements in sensing and feedback circuits.
Does it require mounting to a chassis?
For full power performance, the aluminum case should be bolted to a panel or heatsink to support heat dissipation.
Is wirewound construction advantageous?
It offers stable long-term characteristics, low noise, and strong pulse-handling capabilities.
Can it operate in different environments?
The TM series supports use in air, oil, vacuum, or inert atmospheres, making it suitable for varied industrial settings.
You can bolt it to a metal panel for dependable heat transfer and use its controlled 2 Ω value to build stable current-sense or damping stages within compact power assemblies.
