CGS TE Connectivity HS Series Aluminium Housed Power Resistor, 200W, 22Ω, 5%

The CGS – TE Connectivity HS Series Aluminium Housed Power Resistor represents a robust and reliable solution for demanding high-power electronic applications. Engineered with a durable aluminium housing, these wire-wound resistors are designed to dissipate substantial power (up to 200W in this model) within a compact footprint while maintaining a relatively low surface temperature. This efficient thermal management is achieved by rapidly transferring heat from the resistor element through the aluminium housing to an attached heatsink, ensuring stable performance and longevity.

Constructed from premium quality materials, the HS series offers exceptional reliability and stability over time. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide array of industrial uses, including general-purpose circuits, power supplies, power generation systems, and traction industry applications. Typical scenarios include serving as a braking resistor, balancing resistor, or for capacitor charging and discharging, crowbar protection, and filter networks.

This specific model delivers a resistance of 22Ω with a tight ±5% tolerance and a high 200W power rating. It features a panel mount design with threaded stud terminals for secure electrical and mechanical connection. With a working voltage rating of 1.9kV, it is capable of handling high-voltage environments. The resistor operates across an extensive temperature range from -55°C to +250°C and boasts a low temperature coefficient of ±50 ppm/°C for resistance values below 100Ω, ensuring minimal drift with temperature changes.

Key attributes include low inherent inductance, proven reliability, and high insulation resistance (10,000 MΩ dry). Its compact dimensions of 43mm (H) x 33mm (W) x 15mm (D) and weight of 380 grams make it a space-efficient yet powerful component for engineers and technicians requiring dependable power dissipation.
