MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
SPECIAL MODIFICATIONS
Element: Copper-nickel alloy or nickel-chrome alloy,
depending on resistance value
A number of special modifications to the aluminum housed
resistor style are available upon request. Special
modifications include:
Core: Ceramic, steatite or alumina, depending on physical
size
• Terminal configurations and materials
• Resistance values and tolerances
• Low resistance temperature coefficient (RTC)
• Housing configuration
Encapsulant: Silicone molded construction
Housing: Aluminum with hard anodic coating
End Caps: Stainless steel
Standard Terminals: For RH-5 through RH-50 size terminal
finish - Tin/lead is 60/40 Sn/Pb w/Nickel underplate & Lead
(Pb)-free is Ni/Pd/Au, finish is on copper clad steel core
terminal. For RH-100 & RH-250 terminals are threaded
stainless steel.
• Threaded mounting holes
• Preconditioning and other additional testing
Note: Military (RE) parts are only available with tin/lead finish

Date Code
MIL-PRF-18546 is the military specification covering
aluminum housed, chassis mount, power resistors. VISHAY
RH and NH resistors are listed as qualified on the
MIL-PRF-18546 QPL.
NH NON-INDUCTIVE
Models of equivalent physical and electrical specifications
are available with non-inductive (Aryton-Perry) winding.
They are identified by substituting the letter N for R in the
model number (NH-5, for example).
