Electrical Data
Construction
The metal film is deposited onto a high purity ceramic rod. End caps are force fitted and termination wires are welded
to the end caps. Finally, a cement protection is applied to the resistor body prior to marking with indelible ink. The cement
protection is applied in a manner that leaves the terminations completely clear. This permits a well-defined body length (clean
lead to clean lead dimension L).
Terminations
Material: Solder-coated copper wire
Strength: The terminations meet the requirements of IEC 68.2.21
Solderability: The terminations meet the requirements of IEC 115-1 Clause 4.17.3.2
Solvent Resistance
The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal industrial cleaning solvents suitable for printed circuits.

Flammability
The resistor coating is UL94-V0 rated and will not burn or emit incandescent particles under any condition of applied
temperature or power overload.
Marking
EMC resistors are colour coded with five bands. Four of the bands indicate value and tolerance in accordance with
IEC62. Parts with 20% tolerance have no fourth band. A fifth yellow band denotes constant voltage fusibility.
Maximum
Load at Rated Power: 1000hrs @ 70°C ΔR% 5
Shelf life: 12 months at room temperature ΔR% 2
Derating from rated power at 70°C Zero at 155°C
Climatic ΔR% 3
Climatic Category 50/155/56
Temperature rapid change ΔR% 0.5
Resistance to solder heat ΔR% 0.5
Performance Data
Pulse Performance
Fusing Performance
EMC resistors fuse open circuit at overload powers
exceeding 60W within the time indicated on the Fusing
Characteristic. Their fusing performance at lower
overload powers is not specified.
EMC resistors fuse safely in the event of a 115Vrms /
240Vrms overload (line / mains short circuit condition)
without burning or emitting incandescent particles.
After fusing, the resistance is at least 100 times greater
than the original nominal value.

Application Notes
1. If the resistors are to dissipate full rated power, it is recommended that the terminations should not be soldered closer than
4mm from the body.
2. Due to operating temperature limits imposed by some PCB materials, derating may be necessary. An estimate of the
temperature rise to be expected can be calculated using the thermal impedance figures given under Electrical Data.
3. To protect against fire under all conditions of overload, a positive clearance of at least 13mm should be provided between the
body of the resistor and any combustible materials.
4. EMC resistors can also be supplied loose packed with radial, goalpost or lancet pre-formed leads, tape packed with radial pre-
formed leads, or in blister tape with Z-formed leads for SMD mounting. Consult factory for details.
Packaging
Our standard packaging for EMC is taped and boxed. The critical dimensions are shown in Figure 1. The component wires will
not protrude beyond the outside edge of the tapes. Alternative packaging is available by request.
