MIL-PRF-83421E
4.7.9 Dissipation factor (see 3.13). Unless otherwise specified (see 3.1), the dissipation factor shall be measured
at 1,000 ±100 Hz (for capacitors having a nominal capacitance of 1 µF or less) or 100 ±10 Hz (for capacitors having a
nominal capacitance greater than 1 µF).
4.7.10 ESR applicable to styles CRH11, CRH12, and CRH13 (see 3.14). ESR shall be determined by a suitable
measuring device. Instrument measurement accuracy shall be within ±2 percent. AC measurements shall be made
at a frequency of 100 kHz ±10 percent. ESR is to be measured within .250 inch to .500 inch of case.
4.7.11 Barometric pressure (reduced) for qualification only (see 3.15). Capacitors shall be tested in accordance
with method 105 of MIL-STD-202. The following details shall apply:
a. Method of mounting: By normal mounting means.
b. Unless otherwise specified (see 3.1), test condition letter D (100,000 feet),.
c. Tests during subjection to reduced pressure: The specified potential (see 3.1) shall be applied for at least 1
minute between each terminal and the case when the terminal is not connected to the case, or between the
insulated terminal and the case when the case is a terminal. However, at no time shall the potential exceed
those limits specified (by altitude and case diameter) on figure 2. A suitable means shall be used to detect
momentary or permanent breakdown.
After the test, capacitors shall be visually inspected for evidence of damage.
