Description
The RBE 4000 is a series of wire-wound resistors in a ceramic body, made to STAS 9288-77, with axial leads (RBE 4000-A) or with the leads on one side (RBE 4000-V), used as power resistors in electrical and electronic circuits [1]. The Agenda radioelectronistului (2nd edition, 1989) lists twelve sizes, each printed for both versions („RBE 4004–A(V)”), from 4 to 20 W and from 0.1 Ω to 68 kΩ, with a maximum surface temperature of 250 °C [1].
The Agenda radioelectronistului names IPEE Electro-Argeș of Curtea de Argeș as the producer of all the resistors in its section on resistors made in Romania [2]. Un secol de electronică în România says that the works, founded in 1972 as ICEP, took over the resistor lines that IPRS Băneasa made under a Thomson-CSF licence: the carbon resistors in 1973 and the wire-wound resistors in 1974 [4].
Coded as [2]:
| Part | Meaning |
|---|---|
| RBE | construction type: wire-wound resistor in a ceramic body |
| 4 | package type („tipul capsulei”, 1…6) |
| 004…020 | rated power: 4…20 W |
| -A | constructive variant: axial leads (horizontal mounting) |
| -V | constructive variant: leads on the same side (vertical mounting) |
Romanian resistors are generally marked in clear, with the series code, the nominal value (100 = 100 Ω, 1 K = 1 kΩ, 1 M = 1 MΩ), the tolerance and the rated power [2]. The series is not in the 1st edition (1983) [3].
Dimensions in mm (fig. 16.18): maximum length Lmax from the table; body section 9 × 10, leads Ø 0.8, 30 long [1].
