Can some body help me out please? I am working for resistor Reliability prediction methods. I am following MIL-HDBK 217F. In the Reliabiltiy Prediction Calculation it is mentioned that Quality Factors for resistor as S,R,P,M. Can you please give some idea about these abbreviations.

Thanks in advance.

The Draft version of MIL-HDBK-217G, which may be released soon for Government/Industry comment, does factor in the VITA 51 work regarding quality levels. Since -217G is not yet formally released, I’m not at liberty to divulge what the ultimate modifications might be, as they would be subject to change.
