RSH-375-50

Chassis Mount Resistors

RSH-375-50 is typically used as a chassis mount resistor and is typically available in a one-piece package consisting of a terminal block, resistor and wire-connectors. It is an economical and reliable solution to providing overload protection for electrical appliances and equipment. The terminal block is easy to install, while the resistor ensures the appliance operates safely in a given operating environment.

A chassis mount resistor is designed to provide a resistive path for excess current to flow away from the appliance when too much current is applied. The resistor will thus protect the appliance or equipment from being overloaded. The resistor typically operates in the low voltage range of up to 50 volts and provides a capacitive load of up to 50mA .

The RSH-375-50 chassis mount resistor is made of two layers of copper, which are insulated with glass-fiber reinforced polyolefin. The resistor is then connected to the terminal blocks and the wires are connected to the resistor. This arrangement ensures the resistor is securely insulated and can effectively dissipate the excess current.

When a current is applied to the resister, the resistive elements heat up due to the current passing through them. This heats up the resistor and the heat is dissipated into the surrounding environment. The current in the wires then dissipates, reducing the risk of damage to the appliance or equipment.

RSH-375-50 can also be used as an in-line resistor to provide additional protection against voltage and current overloads. In this application, the resistor is typically connected in series with the load.

In conclusion, the RSH-375-50 chassis mount resistor is an economical and reliable solution to provide overload protection to electrical equipment and appliances. The resistor is easy to install, is insulated and effectively dissipates excess current. The resistor also provides additional protection against voltage and current overloads when used as an in-line resistor.
