MIL-PRF-39017 Resistors, Fixed, Film \(Insulated\), Nonestablished Reliability, And Established Reliability, General Specification ForThis specification covers the general requirements for nonestablished reliability \(non-ER\) and established reliability \(ER\), insulated, film, fixed resistors. These resistors are capable of full load operation at an ambient temperature of 70 Degrees C and have a resistance temperature characteristic of 100 parts per million \(PPM\) and 350 PPM per degree Celsius \(PPM/Degrees C\). The ER resistors have life failure rate \(FR\) levels ranging from 1.0 percent to 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours \(see 1.2.1.4\). These FR levels are established at a 60 percent confidence level on the basis of life tests. Designers are CAUTIONED on using these resistors in high power pulse applications \(see 6.13.2\).
