(1) Flame retardance test may not be applicable to some resistor technologies
Notes
Part marking: 1/2 W - DALE, value; 1 W - model, value, tolerance, date code; 2 W and 3 W - DALE, model, value, tolerance, date code
(1)
As of 1/1/2010, the WSC0001 and WSC0002 are molded with thermoplastic in lieu of epoxy. Reference PCN-DR-002-2009 and PCN-DR-003-2009
(2)
As of February 19, 2016, the WSC0001 was obsoleted by PCN-DR-013-2015; the WSC2515 is a drop-in replacement. You may contact your sales
representative or submit an inquiry via
ww2bresistors@vishay.com
for supporting information
Notes
(1) WSC / WSN Marking (www.vishay.com/doc?30327)
Packaging code: EB (lead (Pb)-free) and TB (tin / lead) are non-standard packaging codes designating 1000 piece reels. These non-standard
packaging codes are identical to our standard EA (lead (Pb)-free) and TA (tin / lead), except that they have a package quantity of 1000 pieces
