Material categorization: For definitions of compliance please
see
www.vishay.com/doc?99912
Note
(1) Flame retardance test may not be applicable to some resistor
technologies
Notes
Part marking: Value; tolerance: Due to resistor size limitations some resistors will be marked with only the resistance value.
(2) For values above 0.1 Ω derate linearly to 80 % rated power at 0.5 Ω.
