DESCRIPTION
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 fitted with lugs 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 lugs may be available on request, please inquire at
ww1resistors@vishay.com.
3D-Models are available on request, please inquire at
ww1resistors@vishay.com.
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 corrugated ribbons and turn
spacings, low ohmic values can be offered. With this
construction, rapid cooling is also possible. The glaze is
fired layer by layer, several times, at a high temperature
(> 600 °C). The resistors are marked with resistance,
tolerance, and winding material.
Different mounting accessories are available for fixing, see
the datasheet: www.vishay.com/doc?21015.
The slider of the adjustable type should be only moved after
removal of voltage and sufficient loosening of the screw.
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
40°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 GBS series meets single lot / date code packaging
requirements.
MATERIALS
All materials used are non-flammable and inorganic.
Vishay acknowledges the following systems for the
regulation of hazardous substances:
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.

RELATED PRODUCTS
In lower continuous power applications and less demanding
environmental conditions the cement coated alternative, like
the ZBS series might be suitable, see the datasheet:
