MIL-PRF-914 Resistor Networks, Fixed, Film, Surface Mount, Nonestablished Reliability, And Established Reliability, General Specification ForThis specification covers the general requirements for nonestablished reliability \(non-ER\) and established reliability \(ER\), hermetically sealed \(see 3.27\) and nonhermetically sealed networks \(see 3.27.1\). These networks consist entirely of fixed, film resistors. They are primarily intended for use in surface mount applications where space is a major concern. ER resistors covered by this specification will have life failure rates \(FR\) ranging from 1 percent to 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours \(see 1.2.1.7\). The ER FR are established at a minimum 60-percent confidence level on the basis of life tests. Designers are CAUTIONED on using these resistors in pulse applications \(see 6.4.4\).

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION

RESISTOR NETWORKS, FIXED, FILM, SURFACE MOUNT,

NONESTABLISHED RELIABILITY, AND ESTABLISHED RELIABILITY,

GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR

This specification is approved for use by all Departments

and Agencies of the Department of Defense.

1. SCOPE

1.1 Scope. This specification covers the general requirements for nonestablished reliability (non-ER) and

established reliability (ER), hermetically sealed (see 3.27) and nonhermetically sealed networks (see 3.27.1). These

networks consist entirely of fixed, film resistors. They are primarily intended for use in surface mount applications

where space is a major concern. ER resistors covered by this specification will have life failure rates (FR) ranging

from 1 percent to 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours (see 1.2.1.7). The ER FR are established at a minimum 60-percent

confidence level on the basis of life tests.

1.2 Classification.

1.2.1 Part or Identifying Number (PIN). Networks specified herein (see 3.1) is identified by a PIN which is of the

basic number of the associated specification and a coded number.
