Metal Film Resistors
Introduction:

The WM series Metal Film Resistors are manufactured using the latest Magnetron Vaccum Sputtering System. This ensures a very stable resistive medium having a very low temperature coefficient. The resistors are insulated with layers of light blue lacquer. The WM series offer a wide range of power rating (0.20W, 0.25W, 0.35W, 0.50W, 1W, 2W & 3W), tolerances (1%, 2%, 5%) and TCRs (25, 50, & 100 ppm).
