Solid-Electrolyte TANTALEX® Capacitors to Military
Specification MIL-PRF-39003 - Exponential and Weibull
Distribution: Hermetically sealed, metal cased, axial leaded
tubular capacitors manufactured as Military Styles CSR13,
CSR21 and CSR23. These capacitors are furnished to the
requirements of the military specification, including marking,
testing and inspection.
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
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-PRF-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 and Style CSR23
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-PRF-39003 establishes failure rates (expressed in
percent per 1000 hours) based on exponential and Weibull
distribution. Care must be exercised in ordering to insure the
part number correctly identifies the desired failure rate level.
