MIL-PRF-83421E
4.7.4 Thermal shock (see 3.8). Capacitors shall be tested in accordance with method 107 of MIL-STD-202. The
following details and exception shall apply:
a. Test condition letter B.
b. Measurements before and after cycling: Not applicable.
c. Number of cycles: 10 or 5, as specified (see 3.1).
4.7.5 Seal (see 3.9). Capacitors shall be tested in accordance with method 112 of MIL-STD-202. The following
details and exceptions shall apply:
a. Test condition letters: As specified (see 3.1).
b. Measurements after test: Not applicable.
4.7.5.1 Seal - alternative test (see 3.9). For capacitors with a liquid impregnant, the following seal test may be
substituted: Capacitors shall be placed with the terminals facing sideways (not upward) on a clean sheet of
absorbent paper and exposed to a case temperature within +3°C, -0°C of the applicable maximum rated temperature
(see 3.1) for a period of 4 hours, minimum. The capacitor and absorbent paper shall then be visually examined for
evidence of leakage of impregnant or filling compounds or bubbles from the seal.
4.7.6 Dielectric withstanding voltage (see 3.10). Capacitors shall be tested in accordance with method 301 of
MIL-STD-202. The following details and exception shall apply:
a. Magnitude and nature of test voltage: As specified (see 3.1).
b. Duration of application of test voltage: Unless otherwise specified (see 3.1), 1 minute.
c. Points of application of test voltage: Between terminals.
d. Power supply voltage regulation: ±2 percent or better.
e. Current resistor: Sufficient to limit charging current 1.0 ampere, maximum.
4.7.7 Insulation resistance (see 3.11). Capacitors shall be tested in accordance with method 302 of MIL-STD-202.
The following details shall apply:
a. Test potential: Unless otherwise specified (see 3.1), rated voltage,.
b. Points of measurement:
(1) Terminal to terminal: Between terminals at the applicable specified temperatures (see 3.1), and at +25°C
±3°C.
(2) Terminals to case (when case is not a terminal): Between each terminal and the case at +25°C ±3°C.
4.7.8 Capacitance (see 3.12). Capacitors shall be tested in accordance with method 305 of MIL-STD-202. Unless
otherwise specified (see 3.1), the following details shall apply:
a. Test frequency: 1,000 ±100 Hz.
b. Limit of accuracy: Within ±0.05 percent.
