MIL-PRF-39009
Resistor, Fixed, Wire-Wound (Power Type, Chassis Mounted), 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), power type, wire-wound, fixed resistors which utilize the principal of heat dissipation through a metal mounting surface. The resistors have an initial resistance tolerance of ±1 percent. These resistors are suitable for continuous full load operation at an ambient temperature of +25°C, and when derated up to +250°C. These resistors should not be used in circuits where their ac performance is of critical importance in the operation of such circuits. However, provisions have been made in particular styles to minimize inductance. These resistors will have life failure rate levels (FRL) ranging from 1.0 percent to 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours. These FRL are established at a 60 percent confidence on the basis of the life tests. The FRL, identified by the appropriate symbol, is referred to operation at full rated wattage at +25°C, with a permissible change in resistance of ±2 percent as the criteria for failure.
