MIL-PRF-39015



Resistor, Variable, Wirewound (Lead Screw Actuated), Nonestablished Reliability and Established Reliability, General Specification For (w/Amendment 5) FSC: 5905

This specification covers the general requirements for nonestablished reliability (non-ER) and established reliability (ER), lead screw actuated; wirewound variable resistors with a contact bearing uniformly over the surface of the entire resistive element, wound linearly, when positioned by a multiturn lead screw actuator. These resistors are capable of full load operation (when the maximum resistance is engaged), at a maximum temperature of 85 degrees C and are capable for continuous operation, when properly derated, at maximum temperature of 150 degrees C, with a resistance tolerance of ±5 percent. The ER resistors have life failure rate (FR) levels ranging from 1.0 percent to 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours. These FR levels are established at a 60 percent confidence level on the basis of life tests.
