MIL-C-5 Capacitors, Fixed, Mica Dielectric, General Specification ForThis specification covers the general requirements for molded and dipped mica dielectric, fixed capacitors intended primarily for use in high-stability, low-loss radio-frequency applications such as tuned circuits \(see 6.1\). This is a graded specification covering ranges in temperature coefficient, capacitance, tolerance, temperature, and vibration.
