Hi everone,

I have a bunch of components here where I have no clue what they are, and a few where I have a hunch what they might be but haven't found anything definitive. So first the mystery components

1. The weirdest one is a potted 3-pin throughhole component (C30355A VC) with a round gray doohickey on top, below are two axial components which based on their label are resistors - however those things are *huge* and partially pretty good precision (e.g. the 3.6 KOhm is specified with 0.02% tolerance). So based on their size and weight I wonder if there is something special about those resistors.


2. A throughhole component with a clear casing labled "27 F". I think it might be a kind fuse or maybe an old style diode?


3. Two components which I believe to be 47kOhm Resistor networks. Problem searching for "Rehm" I primarily find welding equipment but no electronics. For the DALE one I found similar ones albeit with more pins.

 

retiredfeline:
The last two are resistor networks, 8 and 4 respectively. They come in a variety of number of resistors, 4, 8 and 9 are quite common. The common terminal is the dot or the black edge. Easy to confirm with a multimeter.

Ian.M:
'ROHM' not 'Rehm', and not to be confused with Royalohm.  Unfortunately they no longer do through hole resistor arrays and data for their old stuff is often hard to find.

Weird item #1 is from Thomson-CSF, who among many other things made TVs and Radar equipment.  I see four terminals, as the round doohickey is a seal to keep the potting compound in when it was poured.  The top cap pin layout makes me suspect its a high voltage part, possibly a resistor divider network for biasing a CRT electron gun.

Roehrenonkel:
Hi Traceless,
 
1.: My guess is delay-line for TV (Thomson),
     nice resistors, but probably adictive - so send them to me. ;-)))
   Would like to know the manufacturer.
2.: Styroflex-C 27pF
3.: Rohm. Arrays of individual Rs exist as well.

Best regards

Thanks to everyone for the awesome help.

I have quite a bunch of those resistors. Some have odd values (817Ohm, 1.91kOhm) and some surprisingly low tolerances. The best one is 10kOhm 0.001%).  Here is a picture of the entire set. For reference I added a ruler and a 7W power resistor. I'm not sure about the vendor all have that trinagle with an Ohm symbol inside maybe that is the manufacturer logo? I'm also not sure what "Rdm" stands for.

I found a post in a german forum where somone posted pictures of similar resistors. Someone there stated that those were "high temperature, low drift resistors for radar".
