MIL-PRF-83421E
3.25 Fungus. The manufacturer shall certify that all external materials are fungus resistant or shall perform the
test specified in 4.7.21. When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.7.21, inspection shall disclose no evidence of
fungus growth.
3.26 Resistance to solvents. When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.7.22, marking shall remain legible and
shall not smear or rub off. In addition, there shall be no visible indication of damage or deterioration of the capacitor
body.
3.27 Temperature coefficient. When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.7.23, the capacitance changes at the
specified temperatures shall not exceed the applicable limits (see 3.1).
3.28 Life. When tested as specified in 4.7.24, capacitors shall meet the following requirements:
Insulation resistance:
Terminal to terminal ------------
Shall be not less than the specified percent of the initial
requirement (see 3.1).
Terminals to case (when case
is not a terminal) -------------
Shall be not less than the value specified (see 3.1).
Capacitance -------------------------
Shall change not more than the specified percent of the initial
measured value (see 3.1).
Dissipation factor--------------------
Shall be not greater than the limit specified (see 3.1).
Visual inspection -------------------
There shall be no corrosion, leakage of impregnant, or
mechanical damage either during or after the test.
3.29 AC conditioning (when specified, see 3.1). When tested as specified in 4.7.25, capacitors shall withstand the
ac voltage exposure without visible damage.
3.30 Flash point of impregnant (when specified, see 3.1). When tested as specified in 4.7.26, the flash point of
impregnant shall be not lower than 145°C.
3.31 Marking. Marking of capacitors shall conform to method I of MIL-STD-1285, and shall include the Part
Number or Identifying Number (PIN) (see 6.6), "JAN" marking, date code, lot symbol, manufacturer's source code,
capacitance (in µF), capacitance tolerance, and rated voltage (see 4.7.1). The manufacturer shall provide for lot
traceability by date code and lot symbol. Manufacturing records shall include these same date codes and lot
symbols.
Example of marking:
M83421/01
-
PIN (may be on one line if space permits).
2107M
.018 µF 5% 50 V
-
Capacitance, capacitance tolerance, and rated voltage (dc or ac, as applicable).
JAN 0533A 12345
-
"JAN" marking, date code, lot symbol, and source code (manufacturer's item serial
number may be included if space permits).
