Tin-plated steel caps are force fitted and the termination 68.2.21 wires are welded to the caps. The value is obtained by a helical cut in the film and finally the resistor body is protected Solderability: The terminations meet the requirements of IEC 115-1 Clause 4.17.3.2 by a cement coating applied so that the terminations remain completely clear. Solvent Resistance Marking The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal industrial 1% tolerance resistors are colour coded with 5 bands. 2% and cleaning solvents suitable for printed circuits. 5% tolerance have 4 bands. IEC62 colours are used. Flammability The resistor coating will not burn under any condition of applied temperature or power overload.

VRW25 10 VRW37 1 0.01 0.1 1 10 100 Megaohms Maximum peak voltage in accordance with IEC 60065 chapter 14.1 50 discharges from a 1nF capacitor charged to V max. 12 discharges/minute. Application Notes 1. Due to operating temperature limits imposed by some PCB materials, derating may be necessary. An estimate of the temperature rise to be expected at the center of the body can be calculated using the thermal impedance figures given under Electrical Data. Figure 1 2. VRW resistors can be supplied with radial, goalpost or lancet pre-formed leads. The VRW37 is also available in an SMD format with Z formed leads and packed in blister tape. Consult Factory for details. 5mm Packaging Our standard packaging for VRW is taped and boxed. The critical f1 f2 6 6 dimensions are shown in Figure 1. The component wires will not 52mm protrude beyond the outside edge of the tapes. Alternative mm mm Body location f1-f2 < 1.4mm packaging is available by request. Pre-formed resistors are supplied loose packed in plastic bags or boxes.
