[Amps] Caddock power resistors

[rgroh at swbell.net]

Go to Digikey.com and search (search box on top of page) for 'Caddock mp9100' and it will take you right to the page:

The above link will not probably survive the email process but they are there. If Mouser has them, I would order from Mouser anyways.
Link for Mouser (use same search process):

Thermal design will be key plus some sneaky design either hardwired or on a printed circuit board. The data sheet (a pdf file) is available directly from the Mouser page - there is a reference to other Caddock documents with more details on mounting, etc, etc. The thermal impedance is listed on the data sheet (1.5 degC/watt film to case) so that gives one a starting point. Could be a very nice design to document and put on the web. Also super neat if designed built in one of the new varieties of wide range RF detector IC's to provide an electrical signal proportional to power. Hummmmmm! This could be fun.

Mouser has them at a bit over $9 in single qty. Go to the Caddock page,
 
click on distributors and then Mouser. Scroll down to the value/wattage
 you 
want. Or maybe just go to Mouser and type Caddock.
