Capacitance change: Shall not exceed ±2 percent or 0.5 pF, whichever is greater.
DF: Shall be not more than 0.2 percent for rated minimum capacitance 11 pF, 20 pF, and 30 pF, 0.3 percent
for 7 pF.
Dielectric withstanding voltage: A dc potential of 2.2 times rated voltage applied between terminals for 3
seconds ±2 seconds.
Insulation resistance: 10,000 megohms, minimum.
Fatigue:
C: Shall not exceed 12 percent or 0.75 pF, whichever is greater.
Torque: Initial requirement.
Life:
Qualification test: 1,000 hours at +85°C, 150 percent of rated volts dc with a peak alternating voltage of 50
percent of rated volts dc (100 Hz or less) superimposed.
Insulation resistance: Initial requirement.
Capacitance change: Shall not exceed ±8 percent or 0.75 pF, whichever is greater.
Group C life: Conditions and requirements are the same as that for qualification.
Moisture resistance: Method 106 of MIL-STD-202.
Insulation resistance: 10,000 megohms minimum.
Capacitance change: Shall not exceed ±5 percent of nominal value or 0.5 pF, whichever is greater.
DF: Shall be not more than 0.5 percent.
Marginal notations are not used in this revision to identify changes with respect to the previous issue due to the
