3-terminal 0.1 ohm resistors....where to buy

17DoubleE · 28th November 2007, 02:39 AM

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum but have already found much good information here. Does anyone know where I might find 3-terminal 0.1 ohm rectangular shaped radial leaded resistors? I'm repairing an Alpine amp. These resistors appear to be in the output transistor paths for current sharing, etc.

I couldn't find them on either Mouser's or DigiKey's site.

Thanks, 17DoubleE

I did a quick search but haven't seen any 0.1 ohm type but I see them referred to as Dual Emitter Resistors in case that helps.

Pacparts should have them (or should be able to get them).

Or you could just buy the .1 ohm resisitors seperately and just wire them together.. same thing.

Yup, that's what I've done for the moment (used two resistors). It's a buddy's amp who I thouhgt might want it back to original.

Those resistors are real expensive man.I was looking into them for an alpine amp i have. I believe they were around 5 or 6 bucks a piece plus 5 or more dollars in shipping.Way too expensive for me when two .1 ohm 5 watt wirewound resistors run about 50 cents and perform the same function.
