This specification covers the general requirements for power type, wirewound, fixed resistors which utilize the principal of heat dissipation through a metal mounting surface. The resistors have an initial resistance tolerance of å±1 percent and a resistance temperature characteristic range from 30 ppm/å¡C to 200 ppm/å¡C depending upon the resistance value. They are not capable for application when the alternating current (ac) characteristics are of critical importance; however, provisions have been made to minimize the inductance.
