After thinking about it, I may have spoke a 
little out of context with what you may be 
doing. The TR-332 is used to calculate the 
FITs/MTBF of an ENTIRE assembly. 

It is NOT used to determine the FIT of one 
single part. 

Are you trying to determine a FIT for one 
single part or an assembly of parts? 

They give a series of tables in the back of 
332. I can find only my outdated Issue 4. 

For instance: 

 INDUCTIVE DEVICES    FIT
  TRANSFORMER
   Pulse Low Level      4
   Pulse High Level    19
   Audio                7
   Power (>1W)         19
   Radio Frequency     30 
  COIL 
   Load coil            7
   Power Filter        19
   Radio Freq, Fixed    0.5
   Radio Freq, Var      1 

There's other parameters that go along 
with using these numbers to calculate 
the total FITs for an assembly such as 
temp stress, voltage stress, etc... 

Hope I didn't mislead you...
