ACxx-CS wirewound safety resistor series is designed to be
used as fusible safety resistor (or, AC mains input resistors).
The resistor fuses “without a bang” when AC mains voltage
is applied. At the same time, it acts as an in-rush current
limiting resistor for the normal operation. The specially
developed lacquer coating has superior thermal and
electrical insulating properties. This allows designers to
more easily meet the requirements of safety approval, whilst
eliminating the need to put additional fuses in series with the
input resistor.

DESCRIPTION
ACxx-CS wirewound safety resistor series is designed to be
used as fusible safety resistor (or, AC mains input resistors).
It uses specially selected resistive winding wire and special
inflammable silicon cement coating material to ensure safe
and silent fusing operation in overload conditions.
The resistor fuses “without a bang” when AC mains voltage
is applied. At the same time, it acts as an in-rush current
limiting resistor for the normal operation.
The specially developed lacquer coating has superior
thermal and electrical insulating properties. This allows
designers to more easily meet the requirements of safety
approval, whilst eliminating the need to put additional fuses
in series with the input resistor.
Production is strictly controlled and follows an extensive set
of instructions established for reproducibility. Plated steel
termination caps are firmly pressed on the ceramic rods.
Connecting wires of electrolytic copper plated with 100 %
pure tin are welded to the termination caps. Suitable
resistive wire is selected as a winding material. An optimized
number of windings are wound on a high grade ceramic
body. The resistor elements are covered by a green
protective coating designed for electrical, mechanical and
climatic protection. The special coating provides ideal and
silent fusing of the component in overload condition, without
burning or explosion.
The ohmic value, tolerance, rated dissipation is stamp
marked. Also “S” is marked for safety version and “4S” and
“6S” is marked for AC05-CS 4 kV and 6 kV version
respectively.
The result of the determined production is verified by an
extensive testing procedure performed on 100 % of the
individual resistors. Only accepted products are stuck
directly on the adhesive tapes in accordance with
IEC 60286-1.

The products do not contain any of the banned substances
as per IEC 62474, GADSL, or the SVHC list, see
www.vishay.com/how/leadfree.
Hence the products fully
comply with the following directives:
• 2000/53/EC End-of-Life Vehicle Directive (ELV) and
Annex II (ELV II)
• 2011/65/EU Restriction of the Use of Hazardous
Substances
Directive
(RoHS)
with
amendment
2015/863/EU
• 2012/19/EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive (WEEE)
Vishay pursues the elimination of conflict minerals from its
supply chain, see the Conflict Minerals Policy at
www.vishay.com/doc?49037.
ASSEMBLY
The resistors are suitable for processing on automatic
insertion equipment and cutting and bending machines.
Excellent solderability is proven, even after extended
storage. They are suitable for automatic soldering using
wave or dipping.
The resistors are completely lead (Pb)-free, the pure tin
plating provides compatibility with lead (Pb)-free and
lead-containing soldering processes. The immunity of the
plating against tin whisker growth, in compliance with
IEC 60068-2-82, has been proven under extensive testing.
The encapsulant is resistant to cleaning solvent specified in
IEC 60115-1
(4)
. The suitability of conformal coatings, if
applied, shall be qualified by appropriate means to ensure
the long-term stability of the whole system.
APPROVALS
These resistors (AC03-CS and AC05-CS) have UL1412
approval (UL file no. E362452).
