ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
Among these in type MP12 metallized polypropylene precision capacitors which exhibit unique and
outstanding electrical and environmental characteristics. The following are some of the most signi cant. -
Negligible shift in capacitance under long term exposure to humidity, operating life and temperature
cycling. - Insulation resistance, dielectric absorption and dissipation factor properties are all equivalent, or
superior, to those of polystyrene. Small size and weight savings equivalent to those of metallized
polycarbonate capacitors, make type MP12 ideal for precision instruments, communications, and high
density circuitry applications.
Polypropylene capacitors are excellent for all critical applications which require high insulation
resistance, high Q, extreme stability, close tolerance, low dielectric absorption and dissipation
factor. The temperature coe cient makes an excellent choice for high Q tuned circuits, precision
lter circuits, pulse networks and RC circuits.

Marking and Date Code
All capacitors are marked with company initials "EC", corporate logo or EC trademark—in addition to type MP12, capacitance,
tolerance, rated DC working voltage and date code. The rst two digits of the date code represent the year, the second two digits the
week, i.e., 0952 is the 52nd week of 2009, 0902 is the second week of 2009.
Quality Assurance
Major emphasis is placed on quality assurance. EC is an ISO 9001-2000 and AS9100:2004 Certi ed Company. Raw material
inspection and the use of SPC manufacturing procedures assure the highest quality standards. Procedures are fully described in the
EC Quality Control Manual. Electronic Concepts will continue to advance the state-of-the-art by utilizing leading edge technology,
compact capacitor designs and establishing reliability procedures.
