SPECIFICATIONS
CONSTRUCTION:
Metalized Polycarbonate capacitors are available only in extended foil (non-inductive)
construction.
PACKAGING:
Rectangular style, polyolefin encased, with epoxy endseals, axial 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. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

5. Dielectric Absorption: Shall not exceed 0.2% when tested to MIL-C-19978D.
Ref: MIL-C-19978D, Paragraph 3.22.
ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS:
1. Vibration: Capacitors will meet or exceed the requirements of MIL-STD-202E, Method 204.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Lead Pull Test: The leads on these capacitors shall withstand a steadily applied axial pull of 5 lbs.
for one minute.
CUSTOM DESIGN

APPLICATIONS
Metallized polycarbonate capacitors in Style "T2" are encased in irradiated polyolefin and sealed with
epoxy. The polyolefin material is not susceptible to burns that might be inflicted by careless use of a
soldering iron. These capacitors are intended for utilization in sealed or encapsulated assemblies.
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 used very successfully in such AC power applications as power factor
correction and AC line filtering.
Metallized polycarbonate capacitors operate at all temperatures from -55°C to + 125°C.
