Vishay Sfernice
Enamelled Wirewound Power Resistors
Axial Leads
FEATURES
High dissipation up to 30 W (25 °C)
Fire proof
Excellent endurance typical drift ± 1.5 % after
1000 h
Conformal vitreous enamel
All welded construction
Low ohmic values 0.1 Ω available
Termination: Sn/Ag/Cu
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.
The performance of this series of professional resistors fully
meets the requirements of the following specifications:
- NF C 83-210-001
- CECC 40201-001
- BS - CECC 40201-002

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.
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.
