Can I assume that the Power Resistor with the higher wattage will be cooler than a smaller wattage PR OR will they give off the same amount of heat at the same resistance?
I need to find a power resistor that can be out in the open, where it might be touched by human hands, able to handle less than 1 watt and be semi-cool to the touch.
If I use a 20 watt PR, will that be the ticket?
Can I use a 20 watt Thick Film PR without a heat sink?
Thanks,
SF
