Example types with wirewound
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
If not enclosed, wirewound resistors can corrode. (7 words)
The high frequency response of wirewound resistors is substantially worse than that of a composition resistor. (16 words)
Applications of wirewound resistors are similar to those of composition resistors with the exception of the high frequency. (18 words)
Because wirewound resistors are coils they have more undesirable inductance than other types of resistor, although winding the wire in sections with alternately reversed direction can minimize inductance. (28 words)
Some wirewound power resistors have a tapping point that can slide along the resistance element, allowing a larger or smaller part of the resistance to be used. (27 words)
Wire leads in low power wirewound resistors are usually between 0.6 and 0.8 mm in diameter and tinned for ease of soldering. (24 words)
