MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
SPECIAL MODIFICATIONS
Element: copper-nickel alloy or nickel-chrome alloy,
depending on resistance value
A number of special modifications to the aluminum housed
resistor style are available upon request. Special
modifications include:
Core: ceramic, steatite or alumina, depending on physical
size
• Terminal configurations and materials
Encapsulant: silicone molded construction
• Resistance values and tolerances
Housing: aluminum with hard anodic coating
• Low resistance temperature coefficient (RTC)
End Caps: stainless steel
• Housing configuration
Standard Terminals: For RH005 through RH050 size
terminal finish - tin / lead is 60/40 Sn/Pb w/Nickel underplate
and lead (Pb)-free is Ni/Pd/Au, finish is on copper clad steel
core terminal. For RH100 and RH250 terminals are threaded
stainless steel.
• Threaded mounting holes
Part Marking: Dale, model, wattage, value, tolerance, date
code
• Preconditioning and other additional testing
APPLICABLE MIL SPECIFICATIONS
Vishay RH and NH resistors are listed as qualified on the
MIL-PRF-18546 QPL. MIL-PRF-18546 qualified, type RE
resistors can be found at: www.vishay.com/doc?30282
NH NON-INDUCTIVE
Models of equivalent physical and electrical specifications
are available with non-inductive (Ayrton-Perry) winding.
They are identified by substituting the letter N for R in the
model number (NH005, for example).
