MIL-PRF-83500A
3.25 AC ripple life at +125°C. When tested as specified in 4.6.22, capacitors shall meet the following
requirements:
DC leakage (at +125°C and +25°C)-- Shall not exceed the applicable values specified (see 3.1).
Capacitance-------------------------------- Shall change not more than ±15 percent from the initial measured
value (see 3.7).
Dissipation factor ------------------------- Shall not exceed the applicable value specified (see 3.1).
Visual inspection--------------------------- There shall be no damage, obliteration of marking, or leakage of
electrolyte.
3.26 Fungus. The manufacturer shall certify that all external materials are fungus resistant or shall perform the
test specified in 4.6.23. When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.6.23, examination shall disclose no evidence
of fungus growth on the external surface of the capacitor.
3.27 Resistance to solvents. When capacitors are tested as specified in 4.6.24, marking shall remain legible and
shall not smear or rub off. In addition, there shall be no visible indication of damage or deterioration to the capacitor
body.
3.28 Resistance to soldering heat (capacitors with terminal tabs only). When tested as specified in 4.6.25,
capacitors shall meet the following requirements:
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).
3.29 Marking. Capacitors shall be marked in accordance with MIL-STD-1285. Unless otherwise specified (see
3.1), marking shall include the Military Part or Identifying Number (PIN), capacitance (in µF), and rated voltage (at
+85°C) as shown in the following example:
EXAMPLE:
M83500/
01-0001
-
PIN.
1,200 µF 6V
-
Capacitance and rated voltage.
When applicable, polarity marking shall be as specified (see 3.1). The PIN, capacitance, rated voltage, source code,
date code, lot symbol, and trademark shall be marked on the packaging container.
3.30 Recycled, recovered, or environmentally preferable materials. Recycled, recovered, or environmentally
preferable material should be used to the maximum extent possible provided that the material meets or exceeds the
operational and maintenance requirements, and promoted economically advantageous life cycle costs.
3.31 Workmanship. Capacitors shall be processed in such a manner as to be uniform in quality and shall be free
from misaligned welds, cold soldering, harmful corrosion (as defined in 3.12), pits, cracks, dents, rough edges, and
other defects that will affect life, serviceability, or appearance.
3.32 Soldering. All excess flux or solder shall be removed. Electrical connections shall be electrically continuous
after soldering.
