Wire-wound resistors are often used when you need resistance with a higher power dissipation than a common film or composition resistor. Using nichrome wire makes this more practical since a meter ...

All of these techniques are easily incorporated into the manufacturing of nichrome resistors and lead to products that show resistance shifts over humidity testing that are equal to or even less ...

He pulled out a sledgehammer and smashed open a ceramic wirewound resistor. According to him, nice big ceramic resistors like this 10W one have about a meter of nichrome wire inside!

In the case for a nichrome-wire heater, 24-awg wire (0.0201-in. diameter) has a resistance of 1.609 Ω/ft as read from standard tables. Solving for the length that yields 12.1 Ω gives 7.52 ft of ...

Malvern, Pa. Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has expanded its CTN series of 30 mil center-tapped nichrome chip resistors with new devices that offers a low absolute TCR of &plusmn10 ppm/&degC over the ...
