PHYSICAL DATA:
Construction:
The metal film is deposited on a high purity ceramic rod. End caps
are force fitted and termination wires welded to the caps. The
resistive film is adjusted to the required value by a helical cut;
finally the cement protection is applied to the resistor body and
marked with indelible ink.
Termination:
Solder-coated copper wire.

Marking:
Resistors are color coded with five bands. Four of the bands are
used to indicate value and tolerance, with IEC 62 colors being
used. A fifth yellow band denotes constant voltage fusibility.
Solvent Resistance:
The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal
industrial cleaning solvents suitable for printed circuits.
Flammability:
The resistors will not burn or emit incandescent particles under
any condition of applied temperature or power overload.

PACKAGING:
All resistors are supplied tape packed ready for loading onto automatic sequencing and insertion machines. The
standard taping method and critical dimensions are shown in figure 1. Component wires will not protrude beyond the
outside edge of the tapes. FA8225 resistors can be supplied vertically taped in ammo packs or reels. See figure 2.
FA8325/FA8425 can also be supplied loose packed in plastic bags or boxes.
