Construction
The Cermetox resistive film is fired onto high quality ceramic
substrate; brass end caps are forced fitted to the substrate
which is then adjusted to value with a helical cut in the film;
the leads are mechanically locked into the end caps and the
assembly sealed into the glass envelope. All close tolerance
units utilise two resistors connected in series within the glass
envelope. The guard band is described, with application
notes, in a Product Information sheet, available on request.
®
Marking
The serial number, resistance value and tolerance code are legend
marked. The resistance value marking conforms to IEC 62.
Solvent Resistance
The glass envelope is coated with silicone and should not be
subjected to solvents or their vapours. (See Application
Notes.)
Terminations
Material
Strength
Solder-coated Dumet wire.
The terminations meet the requirements of
IEC 68.2.21
Solderability
The terminations meet the requirements of
IEC 115-1, Clause 4.17.3.2

Application Notes
Each resistor is packed with a card stating nominal resistance
value at 100 V applied, selection tolerance, date and serial
number.
Although the glass envelope is an excellent insulant and
would be adequate in a dry atmosphere, the condensation
which occurs in a normal atmosphere will provide a shunt
resistance which will modify the very high resistance value. To
minimise this effect all units are coated with silicone, and it is
essential that this coating is not damaged; any handling
should be by the terminations. For the same reason solvents
must not be used.
The resistors should not be used in a damp atmosphere. If
moisture develops on the body the resistor should be dried
for 30 minutes at 70°C and allowed to cool for a further 30
minutes in a dry atmosphere.
To avoid damage to the seal between terminations and glass,
the leads must be fully supported inside the point of bending
during any preforming.
Guard Band
For details of how to use the guard band, fitted to resistors of
100 G ohms and over, ask for Product Information Sheet
detailing application notes for glass sealed resistors with
guard band.
Non-standard versions
Units without glass envelopes but with lacquer protection are
available, but will have a limited electrical performance.
Measured values at a voltage other than 100V may be
recorded.
For non-standard items contact Welwyn Components.
Packaging
Each resistor is individually packed in a polythene envelope
together with a card carrying measurement details and serial
number (See Application Notes).
