MARKING
The capacitors are marked (where possible) with the
following information:
• Rated capacitance (in µF)
• Tolerance on rated capacitance, code letter in accordance
with IEC 60062 (T for - 10 to + 50 %)
• Rated voltage (in V)
• Date code in accordance with IEC 60062
• Code factory of origin
• Name of manufacturer
• Band to indicate the negative terminal
• ‘+’ sign to identify the positive terminal
(not for case sizes L < 18 mm)
• Series number (030 or 031)
