National Stock Number (NSN) 5905-01-138-6177, or NIIN 011386177, (resistor,variable,wire wound,pre) was assigned September 17, 1982 in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS). This NIIN is Available for Manual Assignment. This NSN does not replace any other NSNs.
There are no manufacturer part numbers associated to this NSN.
This part number has not been procured by the US Government in over 5 years.
Based on a planned procurement review by the Primary Inventory Control Activity (PICA) on Jul 09, 2004, this NSN's acquisition method was noted as: Acquire only from the prime contractor although the engineering data identifies the Commercial and Government Entity Code (CAGE) and part number of a source other than the prime contractor. This part has been designated a high-reliability part under a formal reliability program. Probability of failure would be unacceptable from the standpoint of safety of personnel and/or equipment. The cognizant engineering activity has determined that data to define and control reliability limits cannot be obtained nor is it possible to draft adequate specifications for this purpose. Valid AMCs: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
This NSN is assigned to Item Name Code (INC) 37408. [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) OF THE OUTPUT IS EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN PLUS OR MUNUS 1 PERCENT ON LINEAR OUTPUTS. SPECIFIED OUTPUTS SUCH AS SINE, COSINE, TANGENT, AND THE LIKE, 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, NONWIRE WOUND; NONPRECISION; RESISTOR(1), VARIABLE, NONWIRE WOUND, PRECISION; AND RESISTOR (1), VARIABLE, WIRE WOUND, NONPRECISION.].
