What are the classifications of wire-wound resistors?
Author:
Featuring a heat sink design: Includes additional aluminum散热 fins, ideal for high-power applications (e.g., a 500W power resistor can reduce temperature rise by up to 40%).
Categorized by function
Fixed type: The resistance value is fixed at the factory, making it suitable for applications such as power supply filtering and motor starting.
Adjustable type (potentiometer): Adjusts the effective number of turns via a sliding contact, making it suitable for applications requiring dynamic adjustments, such as instrument calibration and volume control.
Classified by packaging type
Axial-leaded type: Traditional cylindrical design with leads at both ends, ideal for through-hole soldering.
Surface Mount Device (SMD): Flat design optimized for the high-density layouts of modern circuit boards.
With heat sink design: Features additional aluminum散热 fins, ideal for high-power applications (e.g., a 500W power resistor can reduce temperature rise by up to 40%).
Classified by Material
Cement-based material: Uses cement as an insulating and protective layer, suitable for high-power circuits.
Metal-encased type: The outer shell is made of metal, offering superior mechanical strength and enhanced heat dissipation performance.
Glaze-Resistant Type: Features a high-temperature-resistant glaze coating, making it suitable for use in harsh, high-heat environments.
Additionally, wirewound resistors can be further categorized based on the resistance wire material (such as nichrome, manganin, etc.) and their intended applications (e.g., precision measurement, power loading, and more).
