PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY
The capacitors are tested in accordance with MIL-PRF-
49137, with specific requirements as follows:
IMPEDANCE vs. FREQUENCY
Temperature Stability: When tested per MIL-PRF-49137/
6, capacitance shall be within +/-15% at -55°C and 85°C,
and +/-10% at 25°C after exposure to temperature extremes.
DF shall be within 200% of initial limit at - 55°C, 150% of
initial limit at 85°C, and meet the initial at 25°C. DCL shall
be within 10 x initial limit at 85°C, and meet the initial limit at
25°C.

Solderability: (per Method 208 of MIL-STD-202) After
dipping leads in 235°C molten solder to within .125” of the
body of the unit, the solder shall cover 95% of the lead
surface.
LEAKAGE CURRENT - TEMPERATURE
Terminal Strength: (per Method 211 of MIL-STD-202) After
the following test there shall be no loosening of the terminals
or permanent damage to the terminals. Test Condition A:
(Pull Test) 0.010” leads withstand 1 pound, 0.016” leads 2
pounds and 0.007” leads 1/2 pound. Test Condition C: (Bend
Test) All leads shall withstand 3-90° bends with a 1/2 pound
applied force.
