Construction
W21 W215 W23 W24
A high purity ceramic substrate is assembled with interference fit end caps to which are

welded the termination wires. The resistive element is wound on the substrate and welded to
300
the caps; the vitreous enamel protective coating is then applied.
Terminations
200
Material Copper clad steel wire, nickel plated and solder-coated.
Strength The terminations meet the requirements of IEC 68.2.21.
100 Solderability The terminations meet the requirements of IEC 115-1, Clause 4.17.3.2.
Length W23s and W24s are not supplied on tape. Minimum lead length is 30 mm.
