Ultra Precision Wire-Wound Resistors
Type UPW Series
Key Features
Custom weld tabs and
copper weld leads ensure a
good mechanical and
electrical connection
between the element and
the lead wires.
Protection is given to the
windings by means of a
layer of silicone RTV
rubber. This allows
movement of the windings
during temperature
cycling due to loads and
to varying ambient
temperatures. Outer
protection is given by
means of a hot transfer
moulded epoxy compound
which ensures an airtight
coating with no trapped air
The resistive element is wire wound onto a moulded high temperature plastic bobbin with
Superior quality wire-
a central former. The direction of winding is reversed part way through the winding,

giving very low values of inductance. These Neohm resistors use bobbin assemblies with
low selection tolerances

Ambient Temperature (C)
UPW Series resistors must be derated for tolerances below 0.1%. Use the graph to select tolerance versus
operating temperature to determine the percentage rated power for operation.
No derating is required for operation below 20 C.
Mounting
The resistors are suitable for processing on automatic insertion equipment and cutting and bending machines.
Marking
The resistors are marked with the following information:- Manufacturer's name, type number, value and tolerance,
four figure date code.
Packaging
UPW Series resistors are packed loose in boxes.
Performance Characteristics
The evaluation of the performance characteristics is carried out with reference to
IEC specifications QC 400 000 and QC 400 100.
