Construction
Thick film material is fired on to high grade ceramic rods.
Nickel plated steel caps are force fitted and the termination
wires are welded to the caps. The value is obtained by a
helical cut in the film and finally the resistor body is given a
high temperature protective coating.
Solderability
The terminations meet the requirements of
IEC 115-1, Clause 4.17.3.2.
Marking
1% tolerance resistors are colour coded with 5 bands, 2%
and 5% tolerance have 4, IEC 62 colours are used.
Terminations
Material
Strength
Solder coated copper wire.
The terminations satisfy the requirements of
IEC 68.2.21.
Solvent Resistance
The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal
industrial cleaning fluids suitable for printed circuit boards.

N.B. This product can be custom built to meet specific voltage coefficient or pulse requirements.
Packaging
The standard method of packaging GC resistors is taped in
ammo packs. Taped resistors on reel or loose packed
components can also be supplied by special request. In the
case of tape packed components the usable lead length is
reduced by the width of the tape. A detailed taping
specification is available on request.
