scope:

This specification covers the general requirements for insulated, film fixed resistors of 2- and 5-percent resistance tolerance. These resistors are capable of full-load operation at an ambient temperature of 70°C and have a resistance-temperature characteristic of ±200 parts per million per degree C (PPM/°C), (see 6.1).

The type designation shall he in the following form, and as specified (see 3.1 and 6.2):

The style is identified by the two-letter symbol "RL" followed by a two-digit number: the letters identify insulated, film, fixed resisters, and the number identifies the size and power rating of the resistors.

The terminal is identified by the single letter "S" indicating solderability.

The nominal resistance value expressed in ohms is identified by a three-digit number; the first two digits represent significant figures and the last digit specifies the number of zeros to follow.

Examples: 100 = 10 ohms 101 = 100 ohms 102 = 1,000 ohms

Minimum and maximum resistance values shall be as specified (see 3.1). The standard values for every decade shall follow the sequence demonstrated for the "10 to 100" decade.

The resistance tolerance is identified by a single letter in accordance with table I. TABLE I. Resistance tolerance.
