Construction
A high purity ceramic substrate is assembled with interference fit end caps to which are welded the terminations. The resistive
element is wound on the substrate and welded to the caps. Flameproof silicone cement coating is applied priorto marking with
indelible ink. The components are then leadformed if required and packed.

Wirewound High Surge Resistors
WHS Series
Terminations
Material:
Strength:
Solderability:
Hot tin dipped copper wire
The terminations meet the requirements of IEC 68.2.21
The terminations meet the requirements of IEC 115-1 Clause 4.17.3.2
Marking
WHS2, and WHS3 resistors are marked with four colour bands in conformance with IEC62.
WHS5 and WHS7 resistors are legend marked with type reference, resistance value and tolerance.
Solvent Resistance
The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal industrial cleaning solvents suitable for printed circuits.
Flammability
The resistor coating will not burn or emit incandescent particles under any condition of applied temperature or power overload.

Note the voltage shown is the nett voltage across the resistor. At low
values, the generator open circuit voltage will be higher due to the
generator's 2 ohm internal impedance.

Application Notes
1. If the resistors are to dissipate full rated power, it is recommended that the terminations should not be soldered closer than
4mm from the body.
2. Due to operating temperature limits imposed by some PCB materials, derating may be necessary. The surface temperature rise
at the centre of the body is shown under Thermal Performance.
3. WHS2, WHS3, WHS5 resistors can also be supplied with goalpost or lancet pre-formed leads. Radial form is available on
WHS2 and WHS3 only.
WHS2, WHS3, and WHS5 are also available in an SMD format with Z formed leads and packed in blister tape. See the Z-form
datasheet for details http://www.welwyn-tt.com/pdf/datasheet/Z-form.pdf

Packaging
The standard packaging for WHS is taped. The critical dimensions are shown in Figure 1. The component wires will not protrude
beyond the outside edge of the tapes. Taped product is then packed into boxes or onto reels. See Ordering Procedure for details.
Alternative packaging is available by request. Pre-formed resistors are supplied loose packed in plastic bags or boxes.
