BSI
Molded and Insulated Wirewound Power Resistors
Axial Leads Vishay Sfernice
POWER RATING TEMPERATURE RISE
MARKING
GEKA trademark, model, style, nominal resistance (in Ω), tolerance (in %), manufacturing date.
Because of lack of space, small styles are marked with ohmic value (in Ω), and tolerance (in %) only.
