Manufactured in our Huron, SD factory, the WA and WB series
metal foil ultra-precision resistors are designed for the most stringent
temperature and drift stability requirements. Demanding applications
such as oil field data-logging, commercial flight navigation systems,
and automated IC test equipment routinely use our metal foil resistors.

FOIL
TERMINAL
PAD
Low TCR nichrome foil, bonded to an alumina substrate, is photoetched to
create a resistance pattern. Sections of the resistance pattern can be trimmed
to provide overall resistance tolerances as tight as ±0.005%. The resulting
current path (arrows in diagram) is stable and will not generate electrical noise
over time.

Rugged Molded Construction Minimizes Lead Stress
The nichrome foil resistance element is protected by a moisture barrier and
sealed in a molded epoxy housing. Internal secondary leads provide the strain
relief necessary to protect the resistor lead terminations from outside shock
and vibration.
