CLAROSTAT - A14636 20-6602 - Rheostat. 1 Ohm 50 Watt, New.

CLAROSTAT - A14636 20-6602 - Rheostat. 1 Ohm 50 Watt, New. The Clarostat A14636 / 20-6602 is a 1-Ohm, 50-Watt high-power wirewound rheostat. Originally manufactured by Clarostat (now a Honeywell brand), these units are primarily found as "New Old Stock" (NOS) in the current market. Vintage Clarostat rheostats are considered high-quality, durable components, often described as rugged and reliable, especially in industrial or vintage radio applications. Known for being wirewound with robust ceramic construction, they are designed to withstand severe overloading, making them excellent choices for vintage restorations or high-current, high-voltage applications. Key Specifications • Resistance: 1 Ohm. • Power Rating: 50 Watts. • Construction: Wirewound element on a high-temperature ceramic base. • Physical Dimensions: 2.25" (approx. 57 mm) diameter body. • D Shaft: 0.25” Diameter, 1.0” Length from Body • Terminals: 3-terminal configuration, typically solder lugs. • Exceptional Durability: Many are built with ceramic parts and robust wirewound elements, sometimes described as nearly indestructible, handling high heat without failing. Made in USA Vintage - New Old Stock Applications: They are well-regarded for use in filament control in vintage radios or as rugged power controls. Alternates: Ohmite RJS1R0, Honeywell CR50-1
