Specications
Capacitance is within tolerance
when measured at these frequen-
cies:
1–1000 pF @ 1 MHz
> 1000 pF @ 1 kHz
Dissipation Factor is typically less
than 0.05% when measured as
above. Dissipation factor (DF) equals
2πfRC, where f is the test frequency,
R is the equivalent series resistance
(Ω), and C is nominal capacitance
(F). Q is the reciprocal of the dissipa-
tion factor.
Operating Temperature Range is
–55 °C to +125 °C. Insulation Resis-
tance is no less than 7500 MΩ when
measured at 100 Vdc.
Temperature Coecient and Ca-
pacitance Drift: Measure the capac-
itors capacitance at 25 °C, 55 °C, 25
°C, 125 °C, and at 25 °C after stabi-
lizing at each temperature. The ca-
pacitance will meet the limits of the
Characteristic table shown in Order-
ing Information.
Rated Peak Voltage is not to be ex-
ceeded in actual use. Voltage ratings
are in the listings and apply under
the following conditions:
Temperature: Within the specied
operating temperature range.
Altitude: Up to 50,000 feet or
3.4 inches of mercury.
Relative Humidity: Up to 80%.
Frequency: As specied.
Where pulse conditions are en-
countered, contact us.
Withstanding Voltage: Capacitors
will withstand application of an ac
potential between terminals hav-
ing an rms value equal to the rated
peak voltage at a frequency of 100
Hz or less without damage, arcing or
breakdown. Apply the potential by
raising the voltage from zero to the
specied value. Apply the full po-
tential for a minimum of 5 seconds.
Case Insulation: Capacitor cases
will withstand, without damage, arc-
ing or breakdown, a 60-Hz peak ac
potential equal to twice the rated
peak voltage applied between the
terminals connected together and
a metal electrode touching the case.
Apply this potential for 1to 5 sec-
onds.
Current Ratings at various
fre-quencies are in the listings and
ap-ply under the following condi-
tions:
Temperature: 65 °C maximum
Derating Factor: None
Vibration: Capacitors will with-
stand vibrational forces occurring
at rates of from 10 to 55 Hz for 4½
hours. The total excursion during vi-
bration is 0.06 inches. At the end of
this period, make the following in-
spections and tests:
Visual and Mechanical Inspection:
No perceptible deterioration. With-
standing Voltage: As specied under
Withstanding Voltage.
Insulation Resistance: No less than
7500 M.
Capacitance Change: Not to exceed
3% of the nominal value or one pico-
farad, whichever is greater.
Temperature and Immersion Cy-
cling: Capacitors will withstand the
temperature and immersion cycles
indicated in the tables below. Fol-
low three temperature cycles by two
immersion cycles. Make the mea-
surements listed below no more
than 30 minutes following the nal
immersion cycle:
Withstanding Voltage: As specied
under Withstanding Voltage.
Insulation Resistance: No less than
7500 M.
Capacitance: Change not to exceed
4% of the nominal value or one pico-
farad, whichever is greater.

Immersion Test Conditions
•Number of cycles: 2
•Duration of each immersion: 15
minutes
•Immersion bath: Saturated solu-
tion of sodium chloride and water
•Temp. of hot bath: 65 –0 +5 ºC
•Temp. of cold bath: 25 –0 +10 ºC
Life Test: Subject all capacitors
to a temperature of 55 °C for 48
hours. Then subject units cast in
rectangular cases (Types 271, 272,
and 273) to a 60-Hz rms voltage
equal to the rated peak voltage
for 250 hours. Subject units cast in
cylindrical cases (Types 291, 292,
293, and 294) to a 60-Hz rms volt-
age equal to 90% of the rated peak
voltage for 250 hours. In both
tests, maintain the temperature
at 125 °C. After test, the capacitors
will meet these requirements:
Withstanding Voltage: As speci-
ed under Withstanding Voltage.
Insulation Resistance: No less than
7500 M.
Capacitance Change: Within the
limits given in the table below or
one picofarad, whichever is great-
er.

B ±8%
C ±3%
D ±3%

In addition, the capacitor must
show no visual damage and the
markings must be legible
