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.
