Vishay Sfernice
Adjustable Wirewound Vitreous Resistors
Low Ohmic Values
FEATURES
• 16W to 600W at 25°C
• High power rating
• Heavy overloads
• Low ohmic values
• Great endurance
• Excellent withstanding of thermal shock
CS collars
• Mechanical strength
• Fire proof
RSSD medium and high power resistors are noted for their ability to withstand heavy transient and severe shock
and vibration conditions. They complement the ohmic range of Vishay styles RW, RWST and RA in the low value
area, and can be tapped by means of adjustable collars. Standard RSSD resistors have a single adjustable collar.

ADDITIONAL TAPPINGS
Are supplied with their adjustable collars fastened but not set to any specific value. Please note that, on request, all tappings
can be adjusted by VISHAY SFERNICE. For adjustment purposes we would need to be advised of the ohmic values, and
tolerances of the sections in successive order in addition to their sum Rn.
The permissible maximum value for an adjustment should take into account the possible negative tolerance of Rn.
Please consult VISHAY SFERNICE regarding the acceptable tolerance.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
Maximum Current Strength:
The ohmic value and the power decrease as the connections are brought together. To avoid overload, the maximum current
strength that is permissible for Rn should never be exceeded:
I max. =
Pr/Rn
