The resistive element comprises a
resistive film sputtered onto a ceramic
element. Metal end caps are force
fitted to the element prior to spiralling.
Tinned copper lead wires are welded to
the end caps and the components are
then coated with four layers of a flame-
proof cement. All resistors are tested
for value and tolerance. The technology
allows the manufacture of custom
fusible characteristics.
Dimensions
Key Features
■
Superior quality
resistors with fusing
characteristics for
overload conditions.
Flame-proof during
fusing.
Ideal for use in safety-
critical and circuit
protection applications.
These resistors fuse in
less than 60 seconds at
16 times rated power.

Flame-Proof Fusible Resistors
Type FRN Series
Mounting
The resistors are suitable for processing on automatic insertion equipment.
Marking
The resistors are marked with a 3 colour band code indicating the value.
The fourth band indicates the multiplier.
The fifth band indicates the tolerance.
Packaging
FRN25, FRN50S and FRN100S are normally supplied taped in 'ammo' boxes of 4,000 pieces.
FRN200S and FRN300S resistors are normally supplied taped in 'ammo' boxes of 1,000 pieces.
Other package styles available on request.
All tape specifications are in accordance with IEC 286-1.
