Vishay Draloric
Cemented Wirewound Resistors with Ferrules
FEATURES
• Excellent pulse load capability
• High operating voltage up to 7350 V
• Non inductive type (Ni) available
• Different caps options:
- GDK style with different inner threads
- GZK made from drawn brass, nickel plated
The ZWK series, with completely welded construction, is the
perfect choice for high continuous power dissipation up to
150 W with the option for a non-inductive type (ZWK Ni).
With their extremely high pulse power capability, they are
the ideal choice as inrush current limiters. Typical
applications include but are not limited to drive systems,
power supplies, frequency inverters, AC and DC filters, and
as snubber resistors. Specific application requirements
(ohmic value, rated power, peak voltage, pulse shape, pulse
duration, termination style, and environmental conditions)
can be submitted to Vishay for a recommendation of the
most suitable product.

DESCRIPTION
The rugged design of cemented wirewound resistors
enables them to withstand extreme high pulses and makes
them well suited for use in high power / high current
applications. Production is strictly controlled and follows an
extensive set of instructions established for reproducibility.
The winding is done with specific materials on a specially
developed fine ceramic body (Al
2
O
3
). With different
diameters and turn spacings, a large ohmic value range can
be offered. The ceramic used meets the highest
requirements against mechanical resistance, thermal shock,
dielectric strength, and insulation resistance at high
temperatures. The cement coating is fired layer by layer
several times at high temperatures. The resulting cement
coating is resistant to the cleaning solvents specified in
IEC 60115-1
(1)
.
The resistors are marked with type, resistance, tolerance
and winding material.
Product quality is verified by testing procedures, performed
on all individual resistors.
The ZWK series meet single lot / date code packaging
requirements.

ASSEMBLY
The resistors are available with two different termination
styles.
The GDK style has machined caps made from brass material
CW608N which is plated with nickel. The standard internal
thread size is M4 acc. to DIN 13-1. For custom inner thread
sizes, contact:
ww1resistors@vishay.com.
The GZK style has termination caps made from drawn brass
plated with nickel.
It is easy to install / replace these components with either
termination style if they are mounted with spring clips. For
details about mounting accessories offered, see the
datasheet:
www.vishay.com/doc?21015.
For special windings or non-inductive (GWK Ni) versions,
please contact:
ww1resistors@vishay.com.
3D-Models are available upon request, please contact:
ww1resistors@vishay.com.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The power dissipation of the resistor generates a
temperature rise with respect to the ambient. The
permissible dissipation is derated for temperatures above
40 °C, as shown in the derating diagram, in order to avoid
overheating of the resistor. The heat dissipated from the
resistor may affect adjacent components, therefore proper
clearance is required in order to avoid overheating.
All materials used are non-flammable and inorganic
according to UL 94-V0.
These resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when
operated within the permissible limits. However, resistance
value drift increasing over operating time may result in
exceeding a limit acceptable to the specific application,
thereby establishing a functional lifetime.

RELATED PRODUCTS
In higher continuous power applications and more
demanding environmental conditions, a vitreous coated
alternative like the GWK series might be suitable. See the
datasheet:
“Vitreous Wirewound Resistors with Ferrules”
www.vishay.com/doc?21006
For low ohmic values and rated dissipation up to 500 W,
there is the cemented coated ZBS series. See the
datasheet:
“Cemented Wirewound Resistors with Corrugated Ribbon”
