Construction
SAA: These resistors consist of a resistance element wounded on the special grade ceramic rod and embedded into an aluminum case. The wire used is of low temperature co-efficient. The wire ends are spot welded to the end caps. This gives reliable contacts over long period of use. The aluminum casing made from high quality heat sink grade helps to dissipate the heat from the resistor at the faster rate and has a low change of resistance with respect to temperature, with resistance varying in direct proportion. This type of wire wound resistor is manufactured such that the aluminum enclosure is filled with special non-flammable silicon base cement paste.

Electrical Characteristics
DERATING
The power that the resistor can dissipate depends on the operating temperature

SURE BRAND WIRE WOUND RESISTOR - SAA
ALUMINUM HOUSED AXIAL LUG LEAD - Professional Grade
• SAA resistors have an operating temperature range of: -55C to 250C.
• Derating is required for reduced chassis mounting area and for high ambient temperatures.
• The following curves apply to operation of un mounted resistor
• Heat sink size: 178X127X51X1t mm
