24 March 2014 Question by: Rapid Customer
Q. Would you please suggest suitable heatsinks for mounting with these type of power resistors, thanks.
A. Hi Skhan. Thank you for your question. We do not offer heat sinks for these as they already have a heat sink built in but can be mounted on any metal surface for better heat dissipation.


13 March 2013 Question by: Rapid Customer | Product code: 62-8150
Q. Please confirm that R10 is the same as 10 ohms.
A. Hi g3smurph. Thank you for your question. As the decimal point can be overlooked, it is common to use the R instead so R10 is actually 0.1 Ohm. 10R would be 10 Ohm and this is what the product is.
