1. Resistive Element
All resistor types have resistance alloy
winding on a braided fiberglass substrate.
Intermediate silicone coatings are used
to enhance processibility and to provide
protection to the resistive element.
2. Termination
The SP-20 and SP-20F resistors are
terminated using an alloy coated copper
flashed steel lead welded to a cap of the
same material. This termination assembly is
mechanically crimped, utilizing an improved
crimp design, to the resistive element.
3. Encapsulation
The SP-20 and the SP20F are encapsulated
utilizing a compression molded phenolic
plastic material. The SP-20F has a flame
resistance coating applied over the resistive
element to provide flammability protection
when destructive overloads may occur.
4. Marking
All products are marked utilizing heat and
solvent resistant color code bands consistent
with EIA/MIL requirements. The first band
is double width to designate wirewound
construction. A fifth band, blue in color, is
used for flameproof identification.
