MIL-PRF-55182/9G
6.5 Low tolerance resistors. In low tolerance resistors (.005 and .01), resistance shifts due to high humidity are
normal to precision, fixed, resistors. Before being considered out of tolerance, resistors should be conditioned in a
dry oven at +125°C for 1 hour, +15 minutes/-0 minute followed by 2 hours , +30 minutes/-0 minute stabilization at
ambient temperature before measurement. Resistors which continue to be out of tolerance after the above
conditioning process are considered rejects.
6.6 Supersession data. Prior to MIL-R-55182/9A, dated 20 March 1975, the four digit code for resistance specified
in MIL-R-55182 applied.
6.7 Extent of qualification. Qualification of the higher power rating qualifies the lower power rating.
6.8 Electrostatic charge. Under several combinations of conditions, these resistors can be electrically damaged,
*
by electrostatic charges, and drift from specified value. Users should consider this phenomena when ordering or
shipping resistors. Direct shipment to the Government is controlled by MIL-DTL-39032 which specifies a preventive
packaging procedure.

6.9 Changes from previous issue. The margins of this specification are marked with asterisks to indicate where
changes from the previous issue were made. This was done as a convenience only and the Government assumes no
liability whatsoever for any inaccuracies in these notations. Bidders and contractors are cautioned to evaluate the
requirements of this document based on the entire content irrespective of the marginal notations and relationship to
the last previous issue.
