Chassis Mount Resistors

Introduction

Chassis Mount Resistors are an essential component used in various applications. They serve to reduce the current in a circuit, or even control the voltage that runs through it. In addition, they serve other roles such as voltage and current limiting, as well as providing a heat sink in power circuits. A typical chassis mounted resistor can handle up to 10 Amps of current, and can even be designed to handle temperatures of up to 150°C, as is the case with the AHA10AFB-1R8.

AHA10AFB-1R8 Application Field and Working Principle

The AHA10AFB-1R8 is a chassis mount resistor that is designed to be used in high power applications such as industrial and military circuitry. It has a size of 8.75” (222.25 mm) x 2.84” (72.17 mm) and is able to handle up to 10 Amps of current with a working temperature range of -20°C to +150°C. This resistor is designed to be mounted directly onto a chassis for efficient cooling, and it utilizes terminal blocks for secure connectivity.

The AHA10AFB-1R8 works by intercepting a current and using a resistance in order to reduce it. This is done by basic Ohm’s Law, which states that the voltage across a resistor is proportional to the amount of current that is passing through it. The resistor reduces the voltage, and subsequently the current, thus creating a variable resistance that can be set to a specific value, thus controlling the amount of current flowing through the circuit.

Advantages of Using the AHA10AFB-1R8

The AHA10AFB-1R8 chassis mount resistor is highly reliable and can handle large amounts of power. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, such as industrial electronics, process control, robotics, power conditioning, and more. In addition, its design includes a number of features that make it a great option for these applications.

Some of these features include non-inductive winding, which is ideal for high-temperature applications; reinforced plastic cases, which are thermally stable, fire retardant, and impact-resistant; terminal blocks that allow for quick and secure connections; and high-temperature contact resistance that can handle temperatures up to 150°C.

The AHA10AFB-1R8 is highly reliable and is designed to meet a wide range of applications, making it an ideal choice for many different applications. It is an extremely versatile component that is able to handle large amounts of power and is ideal for controlling current and voltage in high-power applications.
