Carbon Film (Metal Alloy) Resistors, Special Purpose, High Voltage
MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
Element: Metal alloy
Core: Alkaline earth porcelain
FEATURES
• HVW and MVW are uncoated; HVX (blue
flameproof coating) available on request
• High voltage (up to 15 kV)
• Semi-precision: ± 5 %, ± 10 %, ± 20 %
• Axial leads: HVW, HVX = Tinned copper
MVW = Copper clad steel
• Material categorization: For definitions of
compliance please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912
Note
*Lead (Pb)-containing terminations are not RoHS-compliant.
Exemptions may apply.
Notes
(1) All resistance values are calibrated at 100 VDC. Calibration at other voltages upon request.
(2) Continuous working voltage shall be or maximum working voltage, whichever is less.
Notes
(3) MVW products do not contain lead. Use tin/lead packaging codes to specify these lead free MVW products. Use lead (Pb)-free packaging
codes to specify lead (Pb)-free HVW and HVX products.
(4) Some packaging codes are model specific.
• For additional information on packaging, refer to the Through-Hole Resistor Packaging document (www.vishay.com/doc?31544).
