1. Resistive Element
All resistor types have resistance alloy
winding on a braided fiberglass sub-
strate. Intermediate silicone coatings
are used to enhance processibility and
to provide protection to the resistive
element.
2. Termination
The SP-20 and SP-20F resistors are
terminated using an alloy coated cop-
per flashed steel lead welded to a cap
of the same material. This termination
assembly is mechanically crimped, uti-
lizing an improved crimp design, to the
resistive element.
3. Encapsulation
The SP-20 and SP-20F are encapsulated
utilizing a compression molded phenolic
plastic material. The SP-20F has a flame-
resistance coating applied over the
resistive element to provide flammability
protection when destructive overloads
may occur.
4. Marking
All products are marked utilizing heat
and solvent resistant color code bands
consistent with EIA/MIL requirements.
The first band is double width to des-
