MIL-PRF-83500A
3.3.1 Solder and solder flux. Solder shall be of such quality as to enable the capacitors to meet all of the
requirements of this specification.
3.4 Interface and Physical dimensions. Capacitors shall be of the design, construction, and physical dimensions
specified (see 3.1).
3.4.1 Case. Each capacitor shall be enclosed in a nonhermetically-sealed metal case (see 3.1), which will protect
the capacitor element against the entry of contaminants.
3.4.2 Terminals. All terminals shall be permanently secured internally and externally, as applicable, so that
normal handling of the terminals will not result in wear, damage, or excessive strain to the capacitor element, case,
or case insulation. Wire-lead terminals shall be hot-solder dipped or electroplated with solder having a tin content of
at least 40 percent. Threaded portions of screw-thread terminals shall be in accordance with FED-STD-H28 as
specified (see 3.1).
3.4.2.1 Radial pin. Radial pin terminals shall be hot-solder-dipped or electroplated with a solder having a tin
content of 40 to 70 percent. Radial pin terminals shall be solderable over their entire length up to .062 inch (1.57
mm) of the welded joint or up to .156 inch (3.96 mm) of the body, as applicable (see 3.1). Radial pin terminals shall
be of a solid conductor of the length and diameter specified (see 3.1).
3.4.2.2 Stud. Stud terminals shall be threaded in accordance with FED-STD-H28 as specified (see 3.1).
3.5 Burn-in. When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.6.2, there shall be no evidence of mechanical damage
or leakage of electrolyte.
3.6 DC leakage. When measured as specified in 4.6.3, the dc leakage shall not exceed the applicable value
specified (see 3.1).
3.7 Capacitance. When measured as specified in 4.6.4, the capacitance shall be within tolerance of the nominal
value specified (see 3.1).
3.8 Dissipation factor. When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.6.5, the dissipation factor shall not exceed
the applicable percent specified (see 3.1).
3.9 Shock (specified pulse). When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.6.6, there shall be no intermittent
contacts of 0.5 millisecond (ms) or greater duration, arcing, open- or short-circuiting, mechanical damage, or leakage
of electrolyte.
3.10 Vibration, high frequency. When tested as specified in 4.6.7, there shall be no intermittent contacts of 0.5
ms or greater duration, open- or short-circuiting, and capacitors shall meet the following requirements:
DC leakage-------------------------- Shall not exceed 125 percent of the initial requirement (see 3.6).
Capacitance ------------------------- Shall change not more than ±5 percent from the initial measured value (see
3.7).
Dissipation factor------------------- Shall not exceed 115 percent of the initial requirement (see 3.8).
Visual inspection ------------------- There shall be no evidence of mechanical damage, obliteration of marking, or
leakage of electrolyte.
