Life Test Performance : State of the Art, Inc. (SOTA) maintains the established reliability rating of our thick film MIL-PRF-55342 resistors at level S (0.001% / 1,000 hours) and maintains our thin film MIL-PRF-55342 resistors at level R (0.01% / 1,000 hours). SOTA performs >70 million unit hours of life testing in order to maintain these failure rates. A life test failure is defined as a change in resistance value larger than ±2.0% for failure rate maintenance and ±0.5% for qualification. These life tests are performed at 70°C ambient at maximum operating voltage applied for 90 minutes on, 30 minutes off, for 10,000 hours.
