CAPACITORS, FIXED, PAPER OR PLASTIC DIELECTRIC,
DIRECT CURRENT, (HERMETICALLY SEALED IN METAL CASES),
GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR
This specification is approved for use by all Departments
and Agencies of the Department of Defense.
INACTIVE FOR NEW DESIGN
after 21 June 1968
1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This specification covers the general requirements for direct-current (dc) paper-dielectric, fixed
capacitors hermetically sealed in metal cases, intended primarily for filter, by-pass, and blocking purposes where the
alternating-current (ac) component of the impressed voltage is small with respect to the dc voltage rating.
1.2 Classification.
1.2.1 Part or Identifying Number (PIN). Capacitors specified herein (see 3.1); are identified by a PIN that is in the

1.2.1.1 Style. The style is identified by the two-letter symbol "CP" followed by a two-digit number; the letters
identify direct-current, paper-dielectric, fixed capacitors hermetically sealed in metal cases; the first digit identifies
general shape of the case, and the second digit identifies specific details other than case size. Each style
designation includes a family of case sizes.
1.2.1.2 Terminal. The only terminal still available is a solder lug (nonremovable), identified by the letter "B".
1.2.1.3 Circuit. The circuit diagram and the number of terminals associated with it are identified by a single symbol
as shown in table I.
