Marking
WA83Z and WA84Z resistors R10 and above are marked with
four colour bands in conformance with IEC62. Values
below R10 are marked with three bands (two digits and
tolerance); there is no multiplier band. WA85Z resistors are
legendmarked “WA85” plus resistance value and tolerance in
conformance with IEC62.
Solvent Resistance
The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal
industrial cleaning solvents suitable for printed circuits.
Flammability
The resistor coating will not burn under any condition of
applied temperature or component overload.

) copper pads. The track area
close to each pad was 120mm
