MIL-PRF-18546G

4.7.4 Terminal strength (see 3.1 and 3.8). Resistors shall be tested in accordance with method 211 of

MIL-STD-202. The following details and exceptions shall apply:

a. Test condition letters A and E (pull test and torque test, respectively): Test condition A for all

terminal types, and test condition E for screw thread terminals.

b. Method of holding:

(1) Test condition A: The resistor body shall be firmly mounted and the specified direct pull (see

3.1) applied to the hole or nut of each terminal, as applicable, for at least 30 seconds, one

terminal at a time.

(2) Test condition E: The resistor body shall be firmly mounted and specified torque (see 3.1)

shall be applied to each terminal, one at a time.

c. Measurement before and after test: DC resistance shall be measured as specified in 4.7.2.

d. Inspection after test: Resistors shall be inspected for evidence of mechanical damage.

4.7.5 Resistance temperature characteristic (see 3.9). Resistors shall be tested in accordance with

method 304 of MIL-STD-202. The following detail shall apply:

Test temperature shall be in accordance with table VII.
