Construction
The metal 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 cement protection is applied to the
resistor body and marked with 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. On FA8325 and FA8425 types a fifth yellow band
denotes constant voltage fusibility.
Solvent Resistance
Terminations
Material
Strength
Solder-coated copper wire.
The terminations meet the requirements of
IEC 68.2.21.
The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal
industrial cleaning solvents suitable for printed circuits.
Flammability
The resistors will not burn or emit incandescent 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.
