Carbon composition resistors are manufactured by extruding
a blend of carbon and organic binders inside a phenolic outer
body. The extrusion is cut to length, leads inserted, cured,
and marked to form a finished resistor. The carbon and binder
mixture is adjusted to produce different resistance values. The
resistorsaresortedfor5%,10%,and20%tolerancevalues.
Carbon composition resistors are able to withstand larger
short-term pulses and higher voltages than film resistors and
arevirtuallyimpervioustoESDevents(Electro-staticdis-
charge). Carbon composition resistors are also sensitive to
moisture and, therefore, storage recommendations should be
adhered to. Generally, any moisture absorbed during storage
will be "baked out" during the soldering operation. If the prod-
uct is stored properly the resistance shift during the soldering
operationwillbeminimal,lessthan2%or3%.
Carbon composition resistors are highly hygroscopic and
changes in resistance value can occur if too much moisture is
absorbed.Forthisreason,itisrecommendednottousewater
or water-soluble solvents to clean these components. Alcohol
or hydrocarbon solvents are recommended for rinsing.
All resistors are packaged in sealed poly bags with desiccant
to maintain a consistent humidity during storage. If parts are
removed from the protective plastic bag they should be used
as soon as possible or resealed in the plastic bag.

always be used on a first-in-first-out basis.
D. Cautions
Solderability: may be affected due to oxidization of lead wire
Resistance value: some units may not completely recover to
original value.
Soldering heat: some treated product may have substantial
resistance change during soldering operation. It is recom-
mended that parts be tested to evaluate soldering heat
effects.
