The ZWS series, with a completely welded construction, is
the perfect choice for high continuous power dissipation up
to 250 W with the option for adjustable (ZWS E) and
non-inductive (ZWS Ni) types. With their extremely high
pulse power capability, they are the ideal choice as inrush
current limiters. Typical applications include but are not
limited to drive systems, power supplies, frequency
inverters, AC and DC filters, and as snubber resistors. For a
given application, requirements of ohmic value, rated
power, peak voltage, pulse shape, pulse duration,
termination style, and environmental conditions may be
submitted to recommend the most suitable product.
APPLICATIONS
• Inrush current limiter
• Capacitor charge / discharge
• Snubber resistor
• Brake resistor
• Filter resistor

DESCRIPTION
The rugged design of cemented wirewound resistors enable
them to withstand extreme high pulses and makes them well
suited for use in high power / high current applications.
Production is strictly controlled and follows an extensive set
of instructions established for reproducibility. The winding is
done with specific materials on a specially developed fine
ceramic body (Al
2
O
3
). With different diameters and turn
spacings, a large ohmic value range can be offered. The
ceramic used meets the highest requirements against
mechanical resistance, thermal shock shocks, dielectric
strength, and insulation resistance at high temperatures.
The cement coating is fired layer by layer several times at
high temperatures. The resulting cement coating is resistant
to the cleaning solvents specified in IEC 60115-1
(1)
.
The resistors are marked with type, resistance, and
tolerance.
Product quality is verified by testing procedures, performed
on all individual resistors.
The ZWS series meet single lot / date code packaging
requirements.

ASSEMBLY
The resistors are available with lug style terminals (SL style)
for soldering, multiple screw terminal options (SS style, SB
style, or SSB style) for mechanical and electrical fixing, or
fast plug terminals (FST style) for assembly / disassembly
processes. The terminals of the resistors are completely
lead (Pb)-free. The special tin plating used provides
compatibility with lead (Pb)-free and lead-containing
soldering processes.
3D-Models are available on request, please inquire at
ww1resistors@vishay.com.
Different mounting accessories are available, see the
datasheet:
www.vishay.com/doc?21015.
The slider of the adjustable type should be only moved after
removal of voltage and sufficient loosening of the screw.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The power dissipation of the resistor generates a
temperature rise with respect to the ambient. The
permissible dissipation is derated for temperatures above
40°C, as shown in the derating diagram, in order to avoid
overheating of the resistor. The heat dissipated from the
resistor may affect adjacent components, hence proper
clearance will be required in order to avoid overheating.
All materials used are non-flammable and inorganic
according to UL 94-V0.
These resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when
operated within the permissible limits. However, resistance
value drift increasing over operating time may result in
exceeding a limit acceptable to the specific application,
thereby establishing a functional lifetime.

RELATED PRODUCTS
In higher continuous power applications and more
demanding environmental conditions the vitreous coated
alternative, like the GWS series might be suitable, see the
datasheet:
“Vitreous Wirewound Resistors with Lugs”
www.vishay.com/doc?21003
For low ohmic values and rated dissipation up to 500 W,
there is the cemented coated ZBS series, see the datasheet:
“Cemented Wirewound Resistors with Corrugated Ribbon”
