MIL-PRF-83500A
3.11 Thermal shock. When tested as specified in 4.6.8, 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.
3.12 Salt atmosphere. When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.6.9, there shall be no harmful corrosion, and
at least 90 percent of any exposed metal surface shall be protected by the finish. Marking shall remain legible.
NOTE: Harmful corrosion shall be construed as being any type of corrosion which in any way interferes with
the mechanical or electrical performance of the capacitor.
3.13 Solderability (capacitors with radial pin terminals and terminal tabs only, see 3.1). When capacitors are
tested as specified in 4.6.10, the dipped portion of the terminals and terminal tabs shall conform to the solid-wire
termination criteria of method 208 of MIL-STD-202.
3.14 Terminal strength. When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.6.11, there shall be no loosening or
permanent damage to the terminals, terminal weld, or seal.
3.15 Surge voltage. When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.6.12, there shall be no intermittent contacts,
open- or short-circuiting, mechanical damage, or leakage of electrolyte.
3.16 Moisture resistance. When tested as specified in 4.6.13, 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 ±8 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 harmful corrosion (as defined in 3.12),
mechanical damage, obliteration of marking, or leakage of electrolyte.
3.17 Low temperature (storage). When tested as specified in 4.6.14, capacitors shall meet the following
requirement:
DC leakage-------------------------- Shall not exceed 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 the initial requirement (see 3.8).
Visual inspection ------------------- There shall be no evidence of leakage of electrolyte.
3.18 Seal (Hermetic sealed units only). When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.6.15, there shall be no
evidence of leakage.
3.19 Stability at low and high temperatures. When tested as specified in 4.6.16, capacitors shall meet the
following requirement:
