10 Watt, 18 Ohm “Sandbar” Resistor

A 10W, 18Ω wirewound resistor. Power component using resistive wire (like nichrome) wound around a core (ceramic/fiberglass) for stable, high-power dissipation, often housed in cement or aluminum for heat management. Key features include 10W power rating, 18 Ohm resistance, ±5% tolerance, through-hole (axial/radial) or chassis mount, and applications in power supplies, motor control, and load testing, with operating temps around -55°C to 155°C.
