Construction
A high purity ceramic substrate is assembled with interference fit end caps to which are
welded the termination wires. The resistive element is wound on the substrate and welded to
the caps; the vitreous enamel protective coating is then applied.
Terminations
Material Copper clad steel wire, nickel plated and solder-coated.
Strength The terminations meet the requirements of IEC 68.2.21.
Solderability The terminations meet the requirements of IEC 115-1,– Clause 4.17.3.2.
Length W23’s and W24’s are not supplied on tape. Minimum lead length is 30 mm.
Marking
The resistors are legend marked with type reference, resistance value and tolerance. Values are
marked in accordance with IEC 62.

Application Notes
The termination should not be bent closer than 1.6mm from
the body, and the recommended minimum bend radius is
1.2mm. The terminations are solderable to within 4mm from
the body. When cold, vitreous enamel has excellent insulation
resistance. In common with all insulants the specific resistance
of the enamel decreases with increase in temperature.
Therefore, resistors operated at near maximum temperature
cannot be classed as insulated and should not be used in
contact with any conducting material. Care must be taken
when determining clearance distance between the resistor
body and the printed circuit board or other components to
ensure these are not over heated. Resistance is measured
6mm from body.

Packaging
For W21 and W215 the standard method of packaging is
taped in Ammo Packs. For W22 the standard method of
packaging is taped and reeled. Alternatives available by
special request are detailed in the table below. W23’s and
W24’s are available only as loose packed in boxes. W series
resistors can be supplied preformed. Contact factory for
details.
Solvent Resistance
The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal
industrial cleaning solvents suitable for printed circuits.
