WMO-S Series
Construction
The resistive film is deposited onto a high purity ceramic rod. End caps are force fitted and termination wires are welded to the end caps. The
element is adjusted to the required resistance value by a helical cut. Finally a cement protection is applied to the resistor body prior to marking
with indelible ink.
Marking
WMO-S resistors are colour coded with four bands indicating value and tolerance in accordance with IEC62.
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 under any condition of applied temperature or component overload.

WMO-S Series
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. An estimate of the temperature
rise to be expected can be calculated using the thermal impedance figures given under Electrical Data.
3. WMO-S resistors can also be supplied with radial, goalpost or lancet pre-formed leads. Consult Factory for details.

Packaging
Our standard packaging for WMO-S is taped and boxed. The critical dimensions are shown in Figure 1. The component wires will not protrude
beyond the outside edge of the tapes. Pre-formed resistors are supplied loose packed in plastic bags or boxes.
