2. Part Number :
  It is composed by Type, Rated Wattage, Terminal Form, Nominal Resistance, Tolerance and package, e.g.
  2.1 Type :
    Metal Glaze High Voltage Resistors are called "RT".
  2.2 Rated Wattage:
    Shown by "W", such as 1/4W,1/2W, 1W, 2W.
  2.3 Terminal Form :
    Upon the shape of terminal, there are "axial" form o "F" forms and "MG" form.
  2.4 Nominal Resistance :
    K 2,M are its unit,which be in accordance with JIS-C6409 article 6 (EIA RS-196A) series.
  2.5 Tolerance :
    It is measured by Bridge-method at room temperature and expressed bv a capital letter, F= 1%,J= 5%.
  2.6 Package:
    T/R=tape & reel; T/B = tape in box; Bulk.
3. Rated Power :
  Rated power is the value of Max load voltage specified at the ambient temperature of 70oC, and shall meet the functions of electrical and mechanical performance. When the ambient temperature surpasses above mentioned temperature, the value declines as per following DERATING CURVE.
 
  3.1 Rated Voltage:
    It is calculated through the following formula:
   
where E: rated voltage (V)
    P: rated power (W)
    R: nominal resistance value ()
    However, in case the voltage calculated exceeds the maximum load voltage, such the maximum load voltage shall be regarded as its rated voltage, means whichever less.
4. Dimension and structure
  4.1 Dimension:
   
  4.2 Structure
    4.2.1 Ceramic Rod:
      It is made of Forste imported from Japan.
    4.2.2 Terminal:
      Terminal is to be firmly connected with resistors element, both electrically and mechanically, and allow easy soldering.
    4.2.3 Coating:
      Coating is done by light blue flameproof paint for 1W,2W type and light green epoxy paint for 1/4W, 1/2W type which is solid enough to be free from looseness, crack and easy breakage. It is also resistant to cleaning and industrial solvents, and the paint shall be limited within 2mm of lead wires from resistor body.
    4.2.4 Marking:
      Marking is made on resistors surface, by color coding.
5. Operating Temperature Range: -65oC ~ 175oC
6. Mechanical Performance
  6.1 Terminal tensile:
    To fix the resistor body.a static load of 2.5kgs, (under 1 /2W:1 kg.) is to be gradually applied into the terminal for 10 seconds without causing any looseness and fall.
  6.2 Twist withstand:
    To bend the lead wire at the point of about 6mm from resistor body to 90o , then catch the wire at 1.20.4mm apart from the bent point end and turn it (clockwise) by 360 degrees perpendicular to the resistor axis at speed of 5 seconds per turn, and do the same eounterclockwise again which constitute a whole turn. Repeat the turn 2 times without causing any break and looseness.
7. Electrical Performance
  7.1 Resistance Temperature Coefficient:
    It shall be within 200ppm/oC.
    T.C(ppm/oC)= [(R2-R1)R1] x [1(T2-T1)] x 106
   
where R1: resistance value at reference temperature
  R2: resistance value at test temp.
  T1- reference temp. (usu, 25oC)
  T2: test temp. (about 75oC)
  7.2 Short Time Over Load:
    When the resistors are applied 2.5 times as much as rated voltage for 5 seconds continuously, it shows no evidence of arc, flame...etc. Removing the voltage and place the resistors to the normal condition for 30 minutes, the resistance value change rate between pre-and-post test shall be within 1%.
  7.3 Insulation Character :
    Resistors are located In a V-shaped metal trough. Using the DC500V megger Instrument 2 poles to clutch either side of lead wires and metal trough, measuring the Insulation Resistance which shall be over 1000MO.
  7.4 Voltage Withstanding :
    Resistors are located in a V-shaped metal trough. Applying Max Working Voltage for one minute and should find no physical damage to the resistors, such as arc. char ...etc.
  7.5 Load Life:
    The resistors arrayed are sent into the 7oC. oven, applying rated voltage at the cycle of 1.5 hours ON. 0.5 hour OFF for 1000+48 hours in total. Then, after removing the voltage, take the resistors out of the oven and left under normal temp. for one hour cooling. The resistance value change rate between pre-and-post test shall be within 3%.
  7.6 Moisture-proof Load Life :
    The resistors arrayed are placed into a constant temp. humidity oven at the temp. of 40 2oC and the humidity of 90~95%, then rated power is applied for 1.5 hours and cut off for 0-5 hour. The similar cycle will be repeated for 500+24 hours in total (including cut-off time). Then remove the voltage, taking the resistors out of the oven and leaving them at room temp. for one hour. The resistance value change rate between pre-and-post test shall be within 3%. There also shall be no evidence of remarkable change on appearance, and the marking shall not be illegible.
  7.7 Solderability :
    The leads with flux are dipped in a melted solder of 235+ 5oC for 2 seconds, more than 95% of the circumference of the lead wires shall be covered with solder.
  7.8 Incombustibility (only for 1W, 2W):
    The resistors are applied the power of 16 times the rated wattage for 5 min. and shall not get flame.
