Dissipation Factor
When measured at the frequency specified for capacitance
measurements, the dissipation factor shall not exceed 0.3% from
+25°C to +125°C.
Dielectric Strength
Capacitors shall withstand a DC potential of 200% rated
voltage for two minutes without damage. When the
capacitor section is insulated from the case, the
capacitors shall withstand a DC potential of 200% rated
voltage applied between the case and the
terminals.Test voltage must be applied and discharged
through a resistance of 1 OHM per volt, minimum and at
25°C.

CAPACITANCE IN PICOFARADS
The first two digits are significant, the third represents the number of zeros (e.g.
104 = 100,000 pfd = .1mfd)
TOLERANCE
Standard tolerance is ±10% : Tolerances of ±20%, ±5%, ±2%, ±1% are available.
Marking And DateCode
All capacitors are marked with company initials "EC", or EC trademark , type (MC), capacitance, tolerance, rated DC working voltage
and date code. The first two digits of the date code represent the year, the second two digits the week, i.e., 9952 is the 52nd week of
1999, 0102 is the second week of 2001.
Quality Assurance
In the construction of the components described, the full intent of the specification will be met. Electronic Concepts, Inc., however,
reserves the right to make, from time to time, such departures from the detail specifications as may be required to permit
improvements in the design of its products. Components made under military approvals will be in accordance with the approval
requirements.
