Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is resistor production, wirewound, through-hole mounting. The Reference Product is resistor, wirewound, through-hole mounting. This is an electric component usually soldered to a printed wiring board (PWB) in electronic circuits. Resistors are used to reduce electric current and the voltage in an electric circuit. For this product it is assumed that a typical wire wound type resistor electronic module has an average weight of 3.8 g. wire wound resistors have a wound metal wire around a insulating ceramic, plastic or fiberglass core. These resistors are used when resistance to high temperatures is required. This component is designed for through-hole mounting. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
