Electron impact excitation rates for transitions in the S V ion, calculated with the R-matrix code, are used to derive the electron temperature-sensitive emission line ratios R1 = I(854.8 A)/I(786.9 A), R2 = I(852.2 A)/I(786.9 A), R3 = I(849.2 A)/I(786.9 A), and R4 = I(1199.1 A)/I(786.9 A), which are found to be significantly different from previous estimates. A comparison of the present results with observational data for a sunspot obtained with the Harvard S-055 spectrometer on board Skylab reveals generally good agreement between theory and experiment, except in the case of R1, which is probably due to blending in the 854.8 A feature. The possible effects of Lyman continuum absorption on the observed line ratios is briefly discussed.
