Resistive Element
Encapsulation
All resistor types have resistance alloy winding on a braided
fibreglass substrate. Intermediate silicone coatings are used to
enhance processibility and to provide protection to the
resistive element.
The SP20 and SP20F are encapsulated utilizing a compression
molded phenolic plastic material. The SP20F has a flame
resistance coating applied over the resistive element to
provide flammmability protection when destructive overloads
may occur.
Termination
The SP20 and SP20F resistors are terminated using an alloy
coated copper flashed steel lead welded to a cap of the same
material. This termination assembly is mechanically crimped,
utilizing an improved crimp design, to the resistive element.
Marking
All products are marked utilizing heat and solvent resistant
colour code bands consistent with EIA/MIL requirements. The
first band is double width to designate wirewound
construction. A fifth band, blue in colour, is used for
flameproof identification.
