1、Designation: F 85 76 (Reapproved 2002)Standard Practice forNomenclature for Wire Leads Used as Conductors inElectron Tubes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 85; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the case of revision, th
2、e year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers rules for designating one, two, orthree-piece round wire leads used as conductors thro
3、ugh glassseals in electron tubes. Stranded leads and leads for semicon-ductors are excluded.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health pract

Dimensioning3.1 DiameterThe diameter shall be expressed in millime-tres. Three digits shall be used for all
6、 diameters under 1 mmand four or more digits shall be used for all diameters 1 mmand larger. A decimal point is understood to be present threeplaces from the right.3.2 LengthThe length shall be expressed in millimetresusing any number of digits.NOTE 1All fractions shall be expressed in millimetres a
7、s decimals.3.3 ConventionsThe diameter shall always precede andbe separated from the length by the letter“ x”. For example, awire 13 mm long and 0.508 mm in diameter will be referred toas 508x13.4. Nomenclature4.1 The nomenclature for designating a lead shall consist ofone, two, or three parts; for
8、one-, two-, or three-piece leads,respectively. Each of these parts shall specify for its piece thediameter in millimetres, the length in millimetres, and thematerial (see Section 4). The order for designating the compo-nent pieces shall be: (1) the inner lead section, (2) the press ofseal section, a
9、nd (3) the outer lead section.4.1.1 Each portion of the designation shall be separated bya dash (), for example,508x13FeCuC40406x2D1016x8NiPtd,corresponding to Inner LeadPress LeadOuter Lead,respectively.4.1.2 One-, two-, or three-piece leads shall be designatedaccording to the typical examples list
10、ed in Table 1.5. Materials5.1 The material for a component lead section is generallydesignated by use of its chemical symbol. A numerical suffix atthe end of the material designation preceded by “C” (coating)indicates percent of cladding or plating. For unspecified alloys,a numerical value between c
11、hemical symbols indicates thepercent content of the material preceding the value.5.2 Additional descriptive suffixes are given in Table 2.5.3 Materials ListCommonly used lead wire materialsand their respective designations are listed in Table 3. Wheretrade names are indicated, equivalent materials m

To satisfy these conditions,standard treatments are available as follows:5.4.1 Anneal Types:5.4.1.1 Entire Lead Anneal (No. 1)Entire leads inv

This applies only to handmade leads.5.4.1.6 Outer Lead (Wire Anneal) (No. 5)The outer wireis given a special anneal while in wire form, prior to cuttinginto lead components.

Therefore, this anneal isunsuitable for a complete lead having copper parts.5.4.2 When annealed lead wires are required, they should bedesignated by the symbol number for the annealing treatmentdesired, preceded by“ A
