Solid-Electrolyte TANTALEX Capacitors to Military
Specification MIL-C-39003 - Exponential and Weibull
Distribution: Hermetically sealed, metal cased, axial leaded
tubular capacitors manufactured as Military Styles CSR13,
CSR21, CSR23 and CSR33. These capacitors are furnished
to the requirements of the military specification, including
marking, testing and inspection.
the part number correctly identifies the desired failure rate
level.
Exponential failure rates are identified as levels M,P,R and
S; Weibull failure rates are B,C and D. Failure rate levels M,
P, R and S are inactive for new designs.
In addition, each order for Military Style CSR13, CSR23 or
CSR33 capacitors requiring government inspection must
state whether inspection is to be at the destination or at the
Vishay Sprague Plant. Orders requiring source inspection
cannot be shipped until this has been accomplished.
In accordance with the specification, all capacitors are
marked with the Military Part Number (M39003/xx-xxxx)
rather than the older Style designation (CSRxxxxxxxx) and
should be ordered as such. All capacitors covered by MIL-
C-39003 are now ordered with the Military Part Number as
illustrated in the Part Numbering System chart. Capacitors
must not be ordered using the Style number identification.
Style CS13 capacitors previously shown in MIL-C-26655 are
directly replaced by Style CSR13. Styles CSR23 and CSR33
capacitors are extended capacitance range versions of
Military Style CSR13.
For information on the performance characteristics of these
capacitors, please refer to the latest issue of the military
specification.
MIL-C-39003 establishes failure rates (expressed in percent
per 1000 hours) based on exponential and Weibull
distribution. Care must be exercised in ordering to insure
