Okaya characterizes all capacitors using the standard test procedures outlined in JIS C 5102, 5150, 5151. These test
parameters are confirmed by a Q.A. audit and are published as guaranteed specifications shown as “dielectric
withstanding voltage”.
Okaya performs 100% screen testing of all capacitors during the production process. These tests are subject to
changes due to improvements in test equipment and procedures and are published for reference only.

SUPPRESSION CAPACITORS
OUTLINE OF CAPACITOR CLASS RATINGS
Capacitor are classified by the IEC into two categories
(these designations are used by most European
countries).
Class Y: Capacitors used in applications where
damage to the capacitor may involve danger of
electrical shock.
Class X: Capacitors used in applications where
damage to the capacitor will not lead to the danger of
electrical shock.
These X and Y Classifications are further divided into
subcategories as shown in the tables.
