Application Notes
Application Notes
1. If the resistors are to dissipate full rated power, it is recommended that the terminations should not be soldered closer than
4mm from the body.
2. Due to operating temperature limits imposed by some PCB materials, derating may be necessary. An estimate of the
temperature rise to be expected at the center of the body can be calculated using the thermal impedance figures given under
Electrical Data.
3. For the purpose of UL approval, the following points should be observed:
3.1 To protect against fire under all conditions of overload, a positive clearance of at least 13mm should be provided
between the body of the resistor and any combustible materials.
3.2 A positive clearance of 13mm should be provided between the resistor body or terminations and uninsulated parts of
opposite polarity or uninsulated dead metal parts.
3.3 Limited Short Circuit testing should be performed in the complete appliance.
4. ULW resistors can also be supplied with radial, goalpost or lancet pre-formed leads. In particular ULW2, ULW3, ULW4 and
ULW5 are available in ZI-form SMD format packed in blister tape – see
http://www.ttelectronics.com/sites/default/files/resistors-datasheets/ZI-form.pdf
Also a 2W radial taped version* is available as shown below.
*Although body dimensions differ slightly, ULWP2R Performance and Electrical Data are identical to those of ULW2
