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. The surface temperature rise

at the centre of the body is shown under Thermal Performance.

3. WHS2, WHS3, WHS5 resistors can also be supplied with goalpost or lancet pre-formed leads. Radial form is available on

WHS2 and WHS3 only.

WHS2, WHS3, and WHS5 are also available in an SMD format with Z formed leads and packed in blister tape. See the Z-form

datasheet for details http://www.welwyn-tt.com/pdf/datasheet/Z-form.pdf
