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. 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 Material Strength Solderability Solder dipped, copper clad steel 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 General Note Welwyn Components reserves the right to make changes in product specification without notice or liability.

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.
