Vishay Milwaukee
Fixed Roundwire Resistor
FEATURES
• Resistance wire is spotwelded to the terminal
bands and then “locked” onto the core with a
vitreous enamel or silicone coating
• Hardware can be supplied mounted, as loose
assemblies, or as individual parts. Enclosures
can also be produced
• Available as fixed and adjustable resistors (for adjustable
Roundwire Resistors see
www.vishay.com/doc?31830)
• Wirewound
• Material categorization: For definitions of compliance
