A company has announced the release of its aluminum-housed low-profile wirewounds. Available in power ratings from 60 to 1000 W, the MHL Series offers a high-power wirewound option that is typically less than half the height of traditional aluminum-housed wirewounds. This product has standard lead wire terminations coming out of one end, and can also be provided with leads coming out of opposite ends or with quick-connect tabs. The element is cemented into the aluminum case, which provides a flameproof part with high stability. The case is resistant to moisture and other harsh environmental conditions. The product is useful in a variety of applications that require a low-profile, high-power wirewound resistor, including robotics as well as medical device power and control.
