caterpillar 953
An item of various cross-sectional shapes which may be of solid or hollow construction. It is specifically designed for attachment to a lever(s) and/or control(s) to actuate various remote mechanisms. It is one of the following: (1) a one-piece item with or without eyes and/or holes in each end which may have bushings or bearings pressed in the eyes; (2) a one-piece item with both ends processed for terminations, excluding threaded end(s); (3) a two-piece construction type item consisting of a body with both ends processed for terminations and a single end attachment; or (4) a three-piece construction type item consisting of a body and two end attachments. Excludes internal combustion engine type piston connecting rods; drag link, steering; link, anchor, brake shoe; tie rod, steering; and turnbuckle. For cylindrical shaped externally threaded items without end attachments, see rod, threaded end and stud (as modified).
Indicates there is no data in the hmirs and the nsn is in a fsc not generally suspected of containing hazardous materials.
Item does not contain precious metal.
No known electrostatic discharge (esd) or electromagnetic interference (emi) sensitivity.
Represents items with no adp components
The item does not have a nuclear hardened feature or any other critical feature such as tolerance, fit restriction or application.
HMIC: Hazardous Material Indicator Code. A one position code that identifies a hazardous item.
PMIC: Precious Metal Indicator Code. A one position code which identifies items that have precious metals as part of their content. precious metals are those metals generally considered to be uncommon, highly valuable, and relatively superior in certain properties such as resistance to corrosion and electrical conductivity.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge. Indicates if an item is susceptible to electrostatic discharge or electromagnetic interference damage. electrostatic discharge damage occurs when an accumulation of static electricity generated by the relative motion or separation of materials is released to another item by direct contact. electromagnetic interference damage occurs when an item comes into proximity with an electrostatic or magnetic field.
ENAC: Enviromental Attribute Code. Identifies items with environmentally preferred characteristics.
CRITL: Criticality Indicator Code. Indicates an item is technically critical by tolerance, fit, application, nuclear hardness properties, or other characteristics.
