Re: How to mount 100 watt resistors?

Heath	Re: How to mount 100 watt resistors? I still haven't had a chance to look at the "power soak" which used circuit board mounted ceramic BFR's. I looked at a Marshall Power Brake however and noticed that it had the metal housed chassis mount types. Which are available through Mouser. The 50W 5% resistors are around $4.00 and the 100W 5% resistors are about $15.00. Check page 182 of the Mouser catalog. If you need 1% check page 172 those are slightly more expensive and only go to 50W.
