please measure resistance over
centered length LM.

Pulse type resistors are
available in this series by
substituting the resistance
element and the substrate from
fibre glass to ceramic.

WIRE WOUND RESISTORS
CERAMIC ENCASED TYPE
HCA/HCV
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
HCA/HCV series resistors are almost universally used in the far east for almost all audio, TV and Industrial
Equipment applications. This series enjoys the following distinct advantages over normal coated resistors :
1) As the resistive element is hermetically sealed in a ceramic case using a cement which enjoys flame
retardant properties even at high
overload no damage can be caused to neighbouring components.
2) Due to very high degree of insulation and low surface temperature, these resistors can be mounted with
their bodies relatively closer
to the PCB.
3) These resistors are also commonly referred to in the far east as cement resistors owing to the nature of
their construction.
4) In certain markets these resistors are also wrongly called fusible resistors.
5) The Impulse type variant in this series is widely used for pulse and surge applications.

Note :
1) In case Pulse type is required please suffix HTR type with I eg. C-5I.
2) Due to recent technological advances, the ceramic cases used may be steatite ceramic or corderite
ceramic or high alumina ceramic depending on the nature of the application. Hence the ceramic
cases may be off-white or variations of brown and variations of grey; colours which are inherent to
these ceramic materials.
3) Types C-10, C-15 and C-20 may have cases with bottom bumps as per international practice.
