Miniature printed circuit resistors incorporate an uncommon number of production and design refi nements to assure
excellent resistance stability, close resistance tolerances, low TCR capabilities and high structural strength. To
assure their high quality standards, premium grade selected wire is reverse pi wound with miniumum stress on high
temperature epoxy bobbins, permeated with a resilient inner cushion coat, and isolated from the external protection
shell by a special dry air chamber.
To promote additional resistance stability and accurate initial calibrations all resistors are subjected to an extensive
accelerated aging program. Weldable and/or solderable leads (a choice of lead material is available) are fi rmly
anchored and bonded inside the bobbin for maximum structural strength. All resistor markings are impervious to printed
circuit board cleaning solvents and lead spacing is suffi ciently well controlled for automatic insertion on standard grid
boards.

Special Screening / Acceptance Test:
Special tests can be performed on a 100% or sample basis, to meet individual customer requirements. Some of the available non-
destructive tests include:
Each of these tests is designed to detect a spectrum of potential resistor defects. Consult the factory for recommendations and a
quotation on special screening or acceptance tests to meet your needs.
