MIL-PRF-55342H (w/ AMENDMENT-2), PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: RESISTORS, CHIP, FIXED, FILM, NONESTABLISHED RELIABILITY, ESTABLISHED RELIABILITY, SPACE LEVEL, GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR (16-AUG-2012)

MIL-PRF-55342H (w/ AMENDMENT-2), PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: RESISTORS, CHIP, FIXED, FILM, NONESTABLISHED RELIABILITY, ESTABLISHED RELIABILITY, SPACE LEVEL, GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR (16-AUG-2012)., This specification covers the general requirements for nonestablished reliability (non-ER), established reliability (ER), and space level, fixed, film, chip resistors primarily intended for incorporation into surface mount and hybrid circuit applications. These resistors have a high degree of stability with respect to time under normal conditions. ER resistors covered by this specification have life failure rates (FR) ranging from 1 percent to 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours (see 1.2.7). These FRs are established at 60 percent confidence on the basis of life tests. Table I provides a summary of performance characteristics for these resistors.
