I apologize in advance, but the smartest guys I know are here.
I just received a few Ohmite thick film power resistors for an attenuator I'm making,
rated 20 watts. They are 15mm x 10mm x 3mm. Obviously they have to be heat-sunk
(heat-sinked?) if they are going to dissipate that much power.
How do you do this? There's no hole in the middle...I can just clamp them between a couple
of pieces of aluminum, but is there a right way to accomplish this?
