INTRODUCTION
Military Established Reliability resistors from Vishay Foil
Resistors are available in resistance values from 4.99
through 121 k and for tolerances from ± 0.005 % to ± 1.0
%. The same resistors are also available as a non-qualified
product for customers desiring higher or lower resistance
values and the same or better performance capabilities. (See
table 2) Both the qualified and the non-qualified version are
manufactured on the same production line facilities and are
subjected to the same process, lot control, conditioning, and
GRP A (100 %) screening. Qualified versions receive
additional MIL Group B and C testing.

The response of military and non military grade resistors to environmental stresses can be made better by “Improved
Performance Testing” (IPT). The IPT part will see burn-in and cycling that removes the “knee” from the normal drift of non IPT
parts. (See Table 4 for the improvement to expect in military parts when calling for VFR recommended screening). Users should
be aware that IPT testing renders the part non QPL and so a 3XXXXX part number will be assigned by VFR. Consult Applications
Engineering for details and ordering advice.
