SPECIFICATIONS
CONSTRUCTION:
Metalized Polycarbonate capacitors are available only in extended foil (non-inductive)
construction.
PACKAGING:
Round Hermetically sealed tubular style, non-magnetic metal tube, with compression glass end seal,
axial copperweld leads.
LEADS:
Copperweld (steel, coated with 30% copper by weight and tinplated with 60-40 Sn-Pb) is standard and may
be soldered or welded in circuit assembly.
TEMPERATURE RANGE:
May be operated at rated DC voltage from -55°C to 125°C without derating voltage.
ELECTRICAL (NON-DESTRUCTIVE) TEST:
1.
2.
3.
Capacitance shall be measured at or referred to 1000 ± 20 Hz at 25 ± 5°C for capacitance values up to and
including 1.0 uf. Capacitance values greater than 1.0 MFD shall be measured at 60 ± 6 Hz.
Ref: MIL-STD-202E, Method 305.
Dissipation factor shall be measured as described for capacitance and shall not exceed 0.3% to 1 MFD,
0.5% greater than 1 MFD. Typical values throughout the temperature range, are given on curves.
Insulation resistance shall be measured as follows:
50-100V at 25°C 25,000 MEG/MFD, need not exceed 50,000 Megohms.
200V + at 25°C 50,000 MEG/MFD, need not exceed 100,000 Megohms.
Ref: MIL-STD-202E, Method 302.
Dielectric Strength: Capacitors shall withstand specified DC test potential for 1 minute through a limiting
resistance of 1 Ohm/Volt.
Terminal to Terminal -- 150% of DC Rating.
Terminal to Case -- 200% of DC Rating.
Ref: MIL-STD-202E, Method 301.
Dielectric Absorption: Shall not exceed 0.2% when tested to MIL-C-19978D.
Ref: MIL-C-19978D
4.
5.
ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS:
1.
2.
Vibration: Capacitors will meet or exceed the requirements of MIL-STD-202E, Method 204.
Moisture Resistance: Capacitors will meet or exceed the requirements of MIL-STD-202E. Method 103B,
condition B, with 500 VDC or rated voltage applied, whichever is less.

Life Test: Will withstand 140% of the Rated DC Voltage at 125°C for 250 hours with not more than 1 failure
in 12 units.
Lead Pull Test: The leads on these capacitors shall withstand a steadily applied axial pull of 5 lbs. for one
minute.
CUSTOM DESIGN
Available on short notice -- special shapes, values, characteristics, combination sections and networks. Non-metallic
cases or fabricated steel and brass with glass-to-metal seals. Engineering service is expert and prompt.
APPLICATIONS
Metallized polycarbonate capacitors in Style "L" hermetically sealed tubular cases offer the user the ultimate in
insulation resistance. These capacitors will meet the environmental requirements of MIL-C-39022C and moisture
resistance per MIL-STD-202E, Method 106D.
Metallized polycarbonate capacitors combine the reliability of self-healing action with high dielectric strength and
insulation resistance of polycarbonate film.
Metallized polycarbonate capacitors are designed primarily for DC application -- blocking, coupling, decoupling,
bypass DC line filtering - where RF and audio components are small in comparison to DC rating. However, they have
been successfully used in AC power applications such as power factor correction and AC line filtering.
Metallized polycarbonate capacitors operate at all temperatures from -55°C to + 125°C.
