DESCRIPTION
Vishay Draloric
ASSEMBLY
Vitreous wirewound resistors are best suited for the use in
demanding environmental conditions. Their rugged design
and durable coatings enable these resistors to withstand
extreme environmental stress. The vitreous coating is
designed for high stability and a long lifetime in humid
environments. The coating is resistant to all cleaning
chemicals commonly used in the electronic industry.
The resistors are axial leaded for soldering. The terminals of
the resistors are completely lead (Pb)-free. The special tin
plating used, provides compatibility with lead (Pb)-free and
lead-containing soldering processes.
Special lead forms may be available on request, please
inquire at ww1resistors@vishay.com.
These components are high dissipation power resistors,
customers are advised to use a high melting point solder.
Production is strictly controlled and follows an extensive set
of instructions established for reproducibility. The winding is
done with specific materials on a specially developed fine
ceramic body (Al2O3). The ceramic meets the highest
requirements against mechanical resistance, thermal
shocks, dielectric strength, and insulation resistance at high
temperatures. With different diameters and turn spacings, a
large ohmic value range can be offered. The glaze is fired
layer by layer, several times, at a high temperature
(> 600 °C). The resistors are marked with resistance and
tolerance, and in addition the FDG, FDK and FDP are
marked with the failure rate level. Product quality is verified
by resistance measurement, performed on 100 ꢀ of the
individual resistors.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The power dissipation of the resistor generates
a
temperature rise with respect to the ambient. The
permissible dissipation is derated for temperatures above
70 °C, as shown in the derating diagram, in order to avoid
overheating of the resistor. The heat dissipated from the
resistor may affect adjacent components, hence proper
clearance will be required in order to avoid overheating.
The resistive wire is hermetically encapsulated. All materials
used are non-flammable and inorganic.
These resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when
operated within the permissible limits. However, resistance
value drift increasing over operating time may result in
exceeding a limit acceptable to the specific application,
thereby establishing a functional lifetime.
Established reliability products within a package unit are
from the same production lot and carry the same date code.
Resistance is measured on the lead wires at a distance of
6 mm from the resistor body. If a greater length of lead wire
is used in the application, the user may need to consider the
additional wire resistance, particularly with low resistance
products.
