element which possesses a unique inherent temperature and
load life stability. Plus, their advanced virtually back lash-free
adjustment mechanism makes them easy to set quickly and
accurately and keeps the setting exactly on target.

Notes
(1)
Maximum is 1.0% A.Q.L. standard for all specifications except
TCR. (For TCR information, see notes 2 and 3.)
(2)
Maximum TCR applies to the 3 σ (sigma) limit or 99.73% of
a production lot. (Measured end-to-end with wiper off the
element.)
(3)
Measurements of TCR through the wiper are influenced more
by setting stability and the percentage of the total resistance in
use (at the wiper) than by fundamental resistance change due
to temperature alone. The parameter shown in table 2 is a 2 s
distribution typifying the behavior of the device when used with
40% or more of the total resistance in use.
(4)
Derated linearly for full power at +85°C to zero power at
+150°C. See Figure 2 on previous page.
(5)
Independent of resistance value. 3 Ω maximum available on
special request.
(6)
All ΔR’s are measured to the tolerance specified +0.01 Ω.
