Entering 299C Variable Resistors
The following table describes the part parameters required for variable resistors when 299C is the selected calculation model.
Parameter
Type
Description
Foreign
Checkbox [Parts Count also]
Indicates whether the device is made in China. If this checkbox is selected, the failure rate of the part is calculated based on Appendix A for the 299C Parts Count or Parts Stress model chosen.
Quality Level
Choice List [Parts Count also]
Not required by the Trimmer, Var NonWW (RJ, RJR) subcategory unless Foreign is selected.
The appropriate quality screening level of the device. Accepted quality levels and values for variable resistors follow. For the quality value assigned to a specific variable resistor, see Chinese Standard GJB/z 299C.
A1 = 0.10
A2 = 0.30 or 0.40
B1 = 0.50 or 0.60
B2 = 1.00
C = 4.00 or 6.00
Resistance
Real
Not required by the Trimmer, Var NonWW (RJ, RJR) subcategory unless Foreign is selected.
The resistance value of the device. This parameter is used in conjunction with Units to enter the resistance value.
Units
Choice List
Not required by the Trimmer, Var NonWW (RJ, RJR) subcategory unless Foreign is selected.
The units for the Resistance value. Choices are:
ohm
Kohm (ohm * 1000)
Mohm (ohm * 1E6)
Type
Choice List
Not required by the following subcategories of variable resistors: Lead Screw, Var WW (RT, RTR) and Trimmer, Var NonWW (RJ, RJR). Also not required when Foreign is selected.
Identifies the type of variable resistor. The choices vary by subcategory.
