Notes:
1. For details of pulse condition see Fig. 1 in Performance Data.
2. Mounted on a 0.53°C/W heatsink with no forced air cooling, air temperature 25°C.
3. Mounted on a 0.53°C/W heatsink with 5m/s forced air cooling, air temperature 25°C.
4. Limited by the solder type; the rating can be improved for non-standard parts by using HMP solder.
5. Based on 100% production test, duration 2s minimum

Fixing hole is located centrally except on WDBR1/2 where the dimension from
the edge by the terminations to the mounting hole centre is 16.68mm
Construction
A high integrity dielectric layer is applied to a machined
stainless steel substrate. Thick-film conductor and resistor
patterns are printed and fired, then protected with a high
temperature overglaze. The termination pads are tinned with
Pb-free solder and optional terminals or leads are soldered on.

Application Notes
A heatsink with thermal resistance
≤0.53°C/W
will enable the component to operate at its continuous power rating. Thermal grease (e.g. Dow
Corning DC340) should be used and the heatsink should have a surface finish of <6.3μm with flatness of <0.05mm. The resistor should be mounted
using a screw head bolt of size M5 forWDBR2, 3, 5 & 7, M3 forWDBR1 and M2 forWDBR1/2. This should be torqued to 2.5Nm ±10%.
WDBR resistors will fail safe (open circuit) under overload fault conditions and still maintain a 1kV dielectric withstand.
