PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Operating Temperature: - 55°C to + 85°C. (To + 125°C
with voltage derating.)
Capacitance Tolerance: At 120 Hz, + 25°C. ± 20%, ±10%
standard. ± 5% available as special.
Dissipation Factor: At 120 Hz, + 25°C. Dissipation factor,
as determined from the expression 2πfRC, shall not exceed
the values listed in the Standard Ratings Tables.
DC Leakage Current (DCL Max.):
At + 25
°C: Leakage current shall not exceed the values
listed in the Standard Ratings Tables.
At + 85
°C: Leakage current shall not exceed 10 times the
values listed in the Standard Ratings Tables.
FEATURES
• Miniature axial-lead capacitors available in 5 sizes
• Precision molded in gold colored, flame retardant, thermo-
setting epoxy resin
• Laser marked for improved legibility and tapered end of
case provides easy identification of positive terminal
• Standard orders are lead taped and reeled; orders under
500 are taped only.
APPLICATIONS
• Designed for high performance automotive, industrial and
commercial electronic equipment

Capacitors,
Axial-Leaded, Molded-Case
At + 125°C: Leakage current shall not exceed 15 times
the values listed in the Standard Ratings Tables.
Life Test: Capacitors shall withstand rated DC voltage
applied at + 85°C for 2000 hours and for 1000 hours applied
at + 125°C derated voltage.
Following the life test:
1. DCL shall not exceed 125% of the initial requirement.
2. Dissipation Factor shall meet the initial requirement.
3. Change in capacitance shall not exceed ± 10%.
