COMPLIANT
As a result of more than 50 years of experience and
continuous improvements the RWM Series of resistors
features proven reliability in AC or DC applications.
The high quality of the RWM resides mainly in the use of a
proprietary VISHAY SFERNICE enamel fired at high
temperature and free from any compound liable to corrode
the resistive wire.

OVERLOAD
Heavy overloads can be endured in the form of short pulses < 0.1 s. Particular requirements should be submitted to Vishay
Sfernice, specifying peak voltage, cycle and environmental conditions.
TYPICAL DRIFTS
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
Since these components are high dissipation power resistors, customers are advised to use a high melting point solder.
For low ohmic values, the measurement becomes critical and the connecting wires resistance is to be included. The value is
measured at 5 mm from the resistor body.
Group Mounting
In a still atmosphere, a distance between axes equal to five times the resistor’s diameter is recommended.
Cabinet Mounting
• Unventilated box: dissipation should be reduced (see dimensional drawing).
• Forced ventilation: if conditions are appropriate, dissipation may be doubled or even trebled.
• In any case: the surface temperature at the hottest point should not exceed 450 °C.
These aspects should be considered by the end user.
