Established Reliability for military standards MIL-PRF39007 Certification
Ohmite Power Resistors Receive Military Certification from Defense
Logistics Agency - RF Cafe
Brownsville, TX, USA – August 23, 2022 - Ohmite
Manufacturing Company, Inc. is pleased to announce its power axial resistors
have received the Established Reliability for military standards
MIL-PRF39007 Certification from the
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
"Designers can rely on the performance of these parts," said Debasis Roy, Global
Director of Products for Ohmite. "This certification provides Ohmite with the opportunity
to provide another source for power axial resistors with Established Reliability
to our customers who need mission-critical parts."
Ohmite will begin production of the MIL-PRF39007-certified resistors immediately
at its manufacturing facility in Brownsville, Texas. Because of the certification's
requirements, these resistors will continue to be manufactured in the United States
of America, adding jobs to the Brownsville, TX area. The MIL-PRF39007 certification
also enables Ohmite to pursue additional military standard certifications in the
future for other products.
"To get certified at this level, these parts can have only one failure in many
thousand hours of use, a standard requiring the highest quality manufacturing,"
Dr. Roy said. "We are proud to receive this 'stamp of approval' from the DLA and
offer this product to our customers requiring high reliability performance from
their power resistors."
The DLA "manages the end-to-end global defense supply chain… for the five military
branches" according to its website. The MIL-PRF39007 certification allows these
Ohmite power resistors to be used in US military operations/implements and, if/when
certified through the necessary channels, may also benefit NATO and international
military programs.
