DESCRIPTION

The resistor element is a resistive wire which is wound in a single layer on a ceramic rod. Metal caps are pressed over the ends of the rod. The ends of the resistance wire and the leads are connected to the caps by

welding. Tinned copper-clad iron leads with poor heat conductivity are employed permitting the use of relatively short leads to obtain stable mounting without overheating the solder joint.

FEATURES

? High power dissipation in small volume

? High pulse load handling capabilities.

APPLICATIONS

? Ballast switching

? Shunt in small electric motors

? Power supplies.
