Construction

SCA: The resistor element is a resistive wire, which is wound, on ceramic rod. Tinned copper leads are connected to the caps by welding. The resistor body is housed in a rectangular ceramic case with a special inorganic potting which is non-flammable, will not melt even at high overloads and is resistant to most commonly used cleaning solvents and moisture.

Electrical Characteristics

DERATING
The power that the resistor can dissipate depends on the operating temperature; see below

Fig - Maximum dissipation (Pmax) in percentage of rated power as a function of the ambient temperature (Tamb)

Applications:

The SCA Series is recommended for the use where occasional overload is upto 125% for long time [upto 2 Hrs.] are probable. This Series is also preferred for aesthetic value. The fusible resistors are also available in this series.
