Try IEC60115 (a multi-part standard) and IEC/TR60440. Brief details are available at http://www.iec.ch The specification sheets for metal glaze resistors, such as Philips VR25 and VR37, may be informative. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk After swimming across the Hellespont, I felt like a Hero.
