These Hi-Meg resistors are designed for use in electrometer circuits where a high order of performance is required. These resistors achieve a high degree of accuracy and stability, and operate at this high performance level for an extended period of time. By being vacuum sealed in a glass envelope, these Hi-Megs are suitable for ultra-high vacuum applications.

Handling and Cleaning of RX-1M Resistors
These glass encapsulated resistors, especially those of higher resistance value, require extraordinary cleanliness. These resistors should be handled by the leads, unless gloves are worn. Fingerprints on the surface of the resistor will attract contaminants and moisture, which will cause a parallel resistance path, reducing the resistance value of the device. If cleaning should become necessary, use isopropyl alcohol and lightly wipe dry with lint free tissues such as Kimwipes.
