CAW overview
CAW is a component documented by IRC - a TT electronics. The PDF description identifies it as "Commercial Grade Axial Lead Power Wirewound & Film Resistor." This guide condenses the most useful engineering information from the available PDF so that designers and sourcing teams can identify the checks that still need confirmation in the original document.

Specifications and operating details
The following points were extracted from the PDF text. Check the associated conditions, notes and limits in the complete document before using a value in a design.
- IRC Type CAF - Ceramic Axial Film CAW - Ceramic Axial Wirewound Power rating (see specs table) Resistance Value (EIA 4-digit code) (≥100Ω - First 3 significant digits plus 4th digit multiplier) Example: 100Ω = 1000; 1000Ω = 1001 (>100Ω - "R.
- This example is for a Ceramic Axial Film, 2-watt, 1000Ω resistor.
Engineering review checklist
- Check resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient and long-term stability over the operating range.
- Derate continuous power for ambient temperature and verify pulse or surge capability separately.
- Match the land pattern, termination finish and current-sense routing to the exact package option.
Always confirm values against the latest manufacturer-controlled datasheet, especially when qualifying a substitute or releasing a production BOM.
