Construction
Resistive thick film material is applied to high-grade ceramic
rods. Tin-plated steel caps are force fitted and the
termination wires are welded to the caps. The value is
obtained by a helical cut in the film and finally the resistor
body is protected by a cement coating.
Terminations
Material:
Strength:
Solderability:
Hot tin dipped copper wire
The terminations meet the requirements
of IEC 68.2.21
The terminations meet the requirements
of IEC 115-1 Clause 4.17.3.2
Marking
1% tolerance resistors are colour coded with 5 bands. 2%
and 5% tolerance have 4 bands. IEC62 colours are used.
Solvent Resistance
The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal
industrial cleaning solvents suitable for printed circuits.
Flammability
The resistor coating will not burn under any condition of
applied temperature or power overload.
General Note
Welwyn Components reserves the right to make changes in product specification without notice or liability.

Application Notes
1. Due to operating temperature limits imposed by some PCB materials, derating may be necessary. An
estimate of the temperature rise to be expected at the center of the body can be calculated using the
thermal impedance figures given under Electrical Data.
2. VRW resistors can be supplied with radial, goalpost or lancet pre-formed leads. The VRW37 is also
available in an SMD format with Z formed leads and packed in blister tape. Consult Factory for details.
Packaging
Our standard packaging for VRW is taped and
boxed. The critical dimensions are shown in
Figure 1. The component wires will not
protrude beyond the outside edge of the
tapes. Alternative packaging is available by
request. Pre-formed resistors are supplied
loose packed in plastic bags or boxes.
