Products that are marked "On Order" in the "Available Quantity" column are usually not in stock. Such products are available for purchase, however, due to their limited customer base, they usually have higher minimum quantities. DACPOL offers products that are not in stock for the following reasons: DACPOL currently has a large number of electronic components in stock and adds new products every day, however, tens of thousands of additional components and their various variants are available from our suppliers. Even though it is unreasonable to have all these products in stock due to the limited sales, we believe that it is in the best interest of our customers to make them available. Our goal is to inform customers about the maximum number of products available and enable them to make decisions based on specifications, prices, availability, required minimums and our technical advice. Please note that selecting the "In Stock" checkbox may limit the display to only products available for delivery straight from the shelf.

We offer adjustable and fixed wirewound resistors designed for various applications. Our assortment also includes wirewound, film, high-voltage, thick-film resistors, and resistors with steel resistive elements.

What is a wirewound resistor?

Wirewound power resistors are resistors made of resistive material in the form of a tape or wire wound on an insulating body, usually ceramic. We offer resistors in the range from 56mΩ to 200kΩ, and power from 2 W to 1 kW. Additionally, we offer wirewound resistors in an aluminum housing, which achieve their rated parameters after installation on a suitable heatsink. A wirewound resistor can be used to load devices with continuous or slowly varying characteristics, but they are not useful for pulsed loads. There are also types of wirewound resistors in aluminum housings that are water-cooled, as well as specially wound non-inductive versions. Wirewound power resistors are used in braking electric motors, discharging capacitor banks, in power engineering devices as well as in power electronics: power supplies, inverters, and rectifiers.
