FEATURES
•
High power dissipation in small volume
•
Low solder spot temperature
•
Very stable mounting
•
Fire-proof inorganic construction.
•
Specially designed for inrush current limitation
of line connected power supplies, as the input
stage of television power supplies and
wherever a save fuse feature is required in case
of a short circuit fault; see Fig.1.
DESCRIPTION
RMW/RMF:
The mounting terminations are
crimped to the resistive body to assure a good
mechanical and electrical contact.
The resistor body and lead ends are housed
within a rectangular ceramic case which is
non-flammable, will not melt even at high
overloads and is resistant to most commonly used
cleaning solvents, in accordance with
“IEC 60068-2-45”.
RMWL/RMFL:
With stainless steel terminations,
available on request.

APPLICATIONS
•
These resistors have been designed to dissipate
high powers in a small volume, to be used in
applications where low solder spot
temperature and very stable mounting are
essential
RMW:
The resistor element is a resistive wire
which is wound in a single layer on a fibre glass
core.
RMF:
The resistor element is a metal film resistor
consisting of a metal layer deposited over a high
grade ceramic rod. The resistive film is adjusted
to final value by means of a helical groove.

OUNTING
The resistors must be mounted in such a way that no stress
is exerted on the leads and that thermal expansion is
possible over the temperature range.
Ensure that the
temperature rise of the resistor body by conducted or
convected heat, does not affect nearby components or
materials.
The temperature rise at the soldering point of the
leads must not reach the melting point of the solder. The
temperature rise at the soldering point and the hot-spot as a
function of dissipated power for the various types, are
shown in Figs 4 to 13.
