Title:
RESISTOR BANKS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001027943
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A resistor bank has first and second supporting members (2, 4). Held on to the supporting members (2, 4) is a resistor element (16) comprising a strip of resistor material which is bent into a zigzag shape. The strip (16) is continuous and has a non-planar cross sectional profile. A plurality of insulating spacers (6) mounted end to end on each of the first and second supporting members (2, 4) isolate the element (16) from the first and second supporting members (2, 4). The engaging surfaces of adjacent spacers (6) are of a complimentary shape thereby to enable each spacer (6) to move relative to each adjacent spacer (6) with any flexing of the relevant one of the supporting members (2, 4). The element (16) is held by a plurality of clips (26) each at a bend thereof on to a respective one of the supporting members (2, 4). Each clip (26) has at least one fastening lug for insertion into at least one fastening hole in a corresponding bend in the element (16).
