What is a Composition Fixed Resistor?

A Composition Fixed Resistor (RESISTOR,FIXED,COMPOSITION) is a resistor whose ohmic value cannot be adjusted or varied. The resistance element consists of a mixture of carbon, an insulating material, and suitable binders, either molded together or applied as a thin layer of conducting material on an insulated form. The opposition to the flow of current is an inherent property of the materials used and is manifest by the heat dissipation in the item itself. See also ATTENUATOR, FIXED; RESISTOR, FIXED, FILM; and RESISTOR, THERMAL. Excludes SUPPRESSOR, IGNITION INTERFERENCE.

What is a Thermal Resistor?

A Thermal Resistor (RESISTOR,THERMAL) is a thermally sensitive resistor whose primary function is to exhibit a change in electrical resistance with a change in body temperature. Item may be mounted in a probe or housing. For ballast tube type resistors, see RESISTOR (1), CURRENT REGULATING. Excludes TRANSMITTER (1), TEMPERATURE, ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE and TEMPERATURE ELEMENT, RESISTANCE METEOROLOGICAL.

What is a Film Fixed Resistor?

A Film Fixed Resistor (RESISTOR,FIXED,FILM) is a resistor whose ohmic value cannot be adjusted or varied. The resistance element consists of either a thin layer of conductive material, containing either binders or insulating materials, deposited on an insulated form; or an alloy of metal and ceramic materials, usually fused to an insulated form. Opposition to the flow of current is an inherent property of the materials used and is manifest by the heat dissipation in the resistor. See also ATTENUATOR, FIXED and RESISTOR, FIXED, COMPOSITION. Excludes carbon composition type resistors.

What is a Nonprecision Nonwire Wound Variable Resistor?

A Nonprecision Nonwire Wound Variable Resistor (RESISTOR,VARIABLE,NONWIRE WOUND,NONPRECISION) is a resistor in which a sliding or rolling contact moves over an exposed area of the resistive element to change the ohmic value of the output. The functional tolerance (linearity), if given, of the output is greater than plus or minus 1 percent on linear outputs. Specified outputs such as sine, cosine, tangent, etc., shall be considered to be precision. For items having manually positioned taps designed to be set and fixed prior to use, see RESISTOR, ADJUSTABLE. For items with step by step variation, see RHEOSTAT and RESISTOR, STEP BY STEP. For tandem-mounted items designed to function together as an attenuator (and rated accordingly), see ATTENUATOR, VARIABLE. Excludes RESISTOR (1), VARIABLE, WIRE WOUND, NONPRECISION; RESISTOR (1), VARIABLE, NONWIRE WOUND PRECISION; and RESISTOR (1), VARIABLE, WIRE WOUND, PRECISION.

NATO Supply Class 5905 is a classification for resistors within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to electrical and electronic equipment components.

Resistors are passive electronic components that are used to control the flow of electric current in a circuit. They are designed to have a specific resistance value, which determines the amount of current that can pass through them. Resistors are commonly used in various electronic devices and systems to limit current, divide voltage, and adjust signal levels.

In the context of NATO Supply Class 5905, resistors are categorized based on their specific characteristics, such as resistance value, power rating, tolerance, and construction type. This classification system helps to ensure standardization and compatibility of resistors used in military and defense applications within NATO member countries.

By organizing resistors into a specific supply class, it becomes easier for procurement officers and engineers to identify and select the appropriate resistors for their specific needs. This classification system also facilitates inventory management and logistics, as it provides a standardized framework for categorizing and tracking resistor components within the NATO supply chain.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 5905 plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability and compatibility of resistors used in electrical and electronic equipment components within NATO member countries, thereby supporting the efficient operation and maintenance of military and defense systems.
