3.1.1.1 Pairs and sets. Resistors furnished in pairs or sets under one national stock number (NSN)
shall be unit packed as one pair or one set, as applicable. Unless otherwise specified, unit of issue
(each, pair, set, etc.) shall be individually unit packed.
3.1.1.2 Hardware. Hardware accompanying resistors shall be protected and enclosed within the unit
packs in a manner that will not damage the resistors or packaging materials. When practical or when the
resistors are not otherwise protected, the hardware should be mounted on each resistor.

inserts, vials, or suitable noncorrosive supporting materials or devices. Leads or terminals shall extend
outward and be maintained in a configuration as manufactured without causing undue loads or stresses
capable of causing damage to the resistors. Materials used to maintain item position and lead
configuration shall permit item removal and replacement without bending the leads. Materials used shall
be noncorrosive materials and shall not crumble, flake, powder, or shed. These materials shall be in
accordance with MIL-STD-2073-1, appendix J, table IV and IVa for wrapping materials, and appendix J,
table V and Va for cushioning materials. Wrapping and cushioning for ESD resistors shall be in
accordance with 3.1.8 herein. No special physical protection or lead protection is required for axial
leaded resistors.
3.1.1.5 Exterior containers. Exterior containers shall be of minimum tare and cube consistent with the
protection required and shall contain equal quantities of identical stock numbered or otherwise designated
items to the greatest extent practicable.
3.1.2 Preservation. Preservation shall be in accordance with military or commercial packaging, as
specified (see 6.2).
