Construction
Cap and lead assemblies are fitted to a high purity
ceramic substrate. The resistive element is wound onto
the substrate and welded to the caps. The wound rod is
then moulded and fitted into aluminium housing to give
optimum stability and reliability.
Marking
The resistors are legend marked with type reference,
resistance value and tolerance which will withstand all
accepted industrial cleaning fluids. Values are marked
in accordance with IEC 62.

Application Notes
After soldering, care should be taken to ensure that there are no flux residues on the end faces of the moulding
compound, otherwise insulation resistance will be reduced. The minimum surface tracking distances from termination
to casing are shown in the Physical Data tables as dimension Dt.
It is recommended that the resistor base should be coated thinly with heatsink compound before mounting to obtain
the stated operating characteristics. The heatsink compound increases thermal conductivity to the heatsink.
