Ohmite Manufacturing announced that 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.
