Capacitors with 5 mm(0.20 inch), 7.5 mm (0.30 inch)
and 10 mm (0.40 inch) lead spacing.
DESIGN
The capacitors consist of a ceramic disc both sides of which
are silver-plated. Connection leads are made of tinned
copper having a diameter of 0.6 mm or 0.8 mm up to 3 kV
and 0.8 mm for 6 kV.
D
The capacitors may be supplied with kinked or straight leads
with a lead spacing of 5 mm (0.200 inch), 7.5 mm (0.300
inch) or 10 mm (0.400 inch) and a lead length from
4 to 30 mm. The standard tolerance on capacitance is 5 % or
10 % for class 1 capacitors and ± 10 % or ± 20 % for class 2
capacitors. Encapsulation is made of gold-coloured
epoxy-resin, flammable resistant in accordance with
“UL94V-0”.
