Construction
The nickel film is deposited on a high purity ceramic rod. End
caps are force fitted and termination wires welded to the
caps. The resistive film is adjusted to the required value by a
helical cut; finally the flame retardant lacquer protection is
applied to the resistor body and the resistor is marked with an
indelible ink.
Marking
Resistors are colour coded with five bands. Four of the bands
are used to indicate value and tolerance, with IEC 62 colours
being used. A fifth black band denotes constant current
fusibility.
Solvent Resistance
The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal
industrial cleaning solvents suitable for printed circuits.
Terminations
Material
Strength
Solder-coated copper wire.
The terminations meet the requirements of
IEC 68.2.21
Flammability
The resistors will not burn or emit encandescent particles
under any condition of applied temperature or power
overload.
Solderability
The terminations meet the requirements of
IEC 115-1, Clause 4.17.3.2
