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 an 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.
Terminations

WH50 only
To load at maximum commercial rating (50W) mount on
heatsink 30.5cm x 30.5cm x 1.5mm.
Derating must be applied when resistors are mounted on a
heat sink of smaller dimensions than defined in Graph 1.
It is recommended that the resistor base should be coated
with heatsink compound before mounting to obtain the
stated operating characteristics.
The heatsink compound increases thermal conductivity to the
heatsink.
After soldering care should be taken to ensure that there are
no flux residues on the moulding compound, otherwise
insulation resistance will be reduced.
Packaging
Resistors are packed in plastic bags and boxed for maximum
protection.
