Vishay Milwaukee
Wirewound Resistors, Industrial Power, Tubular, Flat, Oval,
Adjustable, OVSA
FEATURES
• Terminal bands are spotwelded onto the
insulated core and resistance-alloy wire is
precisely wound onto the oval core
• The wire is spotwelded to the terminal bands
and then “locked” onto the core with a silicone
or cement coating
• Available as fixed and adjustable resistors (for fixed Oval
Resistor see www.vishay.com/doc?31835)
• Wirewound
• Material categorization: For definitions of compliance

Notes
• Ratings are based on a temperature rise of 300 °C above an ambient of 40 °C.
(1) Standard fixed resistance tolerance ± 5 %. Resistance values less than 1  and adjustable have ± 10 % tolerance. Closer tolerances
available upon request.
