The ARCOL HS style is a range of high quality, high
stability aluminium housed power wirewound resistors
designed for direct heat sink attachment. The resistive
element is wound onto high thermal conductivity
ceramic formers ground to a close tolerance finish
ensuring maximum contact for rapid heat transfer. This
element is encapsulated in the aluminium housing by a
transfer moulding process which ensures a good
humidity seal and a permanent compression fit. The
encapsulant is a high temperature moulding compound
and the special ARCOL mould tool design ensures
accurate concentricity of the resistive element inside
the housing giving a high level of voltage protection.
Our engineers have 30 years experience in the design
and manufacture of this style of resistor and during this
period we have produced many different HS types to
meet customers special requirements. If you need a
special design for your application, be it high voltage,
short term overload, special mounting or terminations
then please contact us for advice.

HEAT DISSIPATION
Whilst the use of proprietary heat sinks with
lower thermal resistance is acceptable, uprating is not recommended.
For maximum heat transfer it is recommended that a heat sink
compound be applied between the resistor base and heat sink/chassis
mounting surface. It is essential that the maximum hot spot
temperature of 200°C is not exceeded and therefore the resistor must
be mounted on a heat sink of correct thermal resistance for the power
being dissipated.
MAXIMUM OVERLOAD
Please consult the factory for assistance
concerning your particular overload application.
