7. Mechanical Performance
7.1 Terminal tensile:
To fix the resistor body, a static load of 2.5kgs.(under 1/2W : 1kg) is to be gradually applied into the
terminal for 10 seconds without causing any looseness and fall.
7.2 Twist withstand:
To bend the lead wire at the point of about 6mm from resistor body to 90°, then catch the wire at 1.2
±0.4mm apart from the bent point end and turn it (clockwise) by 360 degrees perpendicular to the
resistor axis at speed of 5 seconds per turn, and do the same counterclockwise again which constitute
a whole turn. Repeat the turn 2 times without causing any break and looseness.
8. Electrical Performance:
8.1 Resistance Temperature Coefficient:
It shall be within ±200ppm/℃.
T.C (ppm/℃) =[(R2-R1) ÷R1½ ×[1÷(T2-T1)½×10
