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 prior to marking with
indelible ink. The components are then leadformed if required and packed.

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
WP1S, WP2S, WP25S and WP3S resistors R10 and above are marked with four or five colour bands in conformance with IEC62.
Values below R10 are marked with three bands (two digits indicating value in milliohms, and tolerance); there is no multiplier
band. WP4S and WP5S 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.

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 at the center of the body can be calculated using the thermal impedance figures given under
Electrical Data.
3. WP-S resistors can also be supplied with radial, goalpost or lancet pre-formed leads. WP2S, WP3S, WP4S and WP5S are also
available in an SMD format with Z formed leads and packed in blister tape. Consult factory for details.

Packaging
The standard packaging for WP-S 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.
