MIL-PRF-87217A
b. Depth of immersion in flux and solder: The leads shall be immersed to within .125 inch of the capacitor
body.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or
order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD personnel, these personnel need to
contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite packaging requirements. Packaging requirements
are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency,
or within the Military Department's System Command. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing
Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the
responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended Use. Capacitors covered by this specification are intended for use in low-energy and high
impedance applications such as integrators, RC timing circuits, precision filters and other applications where the ac
component of voltage is not significant. Capacitors covered by this specification are unique due to the fact that they
are available in tight tolerances and exhibit excellent capacitance stability over long life, as well as high insulation
resistance and low loss factor. These devices also must be able to operate satisfactorily in high reliability military
systems under demanding conditions such as 50 Gs of high frequency vibration and 100 Gs of shock (specified
pulse). Commercial components are not designed to withstand these military environmental conditions.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of the specification.
b. Issue of DoDISS to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the specific issue of individual documents
referenced (see 2.2).
c. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
d. Title, number, and date of the applicable specification sheet, and the complete part number and lead
material if other than that specified (see 3.1).
6.3 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made only for products which
are, at the time of award of contract, qualified for inclusion in Qualified Products List whether or not such products
have actually been so listed by that date. The attention of the contractors is called to these requirements, and
manufacturers are urged to arrange to have the products that they propose to offer to the Federal Government
tested for qualification in order that they may be eligible to be awarded contracts or orders for the products covered
by this specification. Information pertaining to qualification of products may be obtained from the Defense Supply
Center, Columbus, ATTN: DSCC/VAM, 3990 E. Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43213-1199.
6.4 Part or Identifying Number (PIN). This specification requires a PIN that is as described in the appropriate
reference to associated documents (see 3.1).
6.5 Subject term (key word) listing.
