338 /   HD   ELECTRICAL RESISTORS

333PARTICULAR CONFIGURATION AND/OR DIMENSION


DEFINITION

Classification: 338/333

(under the class definition) Subject matter wherein the resistance element or base has a significant shape and/or physical dimension.

(1) Note. The significant shape may be cross-sectional, such as in a tubular resistance.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

68+, for mechanically variable resistors whose resistance value may depend on shape, or wherein the variation is effected by a change in a dimension; especially subclass 71, for lamp socket type carbon compressible resistors; subclasses 99+, for compressible type resistors generally; subclasses 114+, for deformable resistors; subclasses 118+, for resistors whose effective length may be varied; and

subclasses 138+, for adjustable tapered resistors.

208, for mesh, woven, or braided resistors.

209, for extensible resistors. 210+, for flexible or folding resistors.

217+, for tapered fixed resistors.

279+, for a resistor whose element is formed as a ribbon bent or curved on its flat side.

283+, for zigzag or sinuous shaped resistors.

296+, for helical or wound resistors.

308+, for resistors with coated elements of significant thickness.
