Resistors
CARBON FILM RESISTORS
The WCF Series Carbon Film Resistors are manufactured using mechanised high vacuum carbonising plants. This ensures a stable resistive film. The resistors are insulated with layers of light brown lacquer. The WCF series offer a wide range of power ratings (0.125 W, 0.25W, 0.4W, 0.5W, 1W, 2W & 3W) with a tolerance of ± 5%. and TCR ±1000 ppm/ºC.
