CASE: pre-molded plastic case, axial leads
THIN SHELL: rugged, but light
CYLINDRICAL SHAPE: high stability
Comparable to hermetically sealed metallic enclosures designed to meet thermal shock, vibration
and moisture resistance specifications
Type “G” capacitors are also available in rectangular, axial-lead “Style V.” Hermetically sealed types are available.
SPECIFICATIONS
CONSTRUCTION: metallized polypropylene capacitors are available only in extended foil (non-inductive)
construction
PACKAGING: pre-molded plastic case insures a void free, flame resistant, moisture proof case. Cylindrical shape
permits best stability for this dielectric.
LEADS: tin or tin/lead plated copper wire is standard and may be soldered or welded in circuit assembly
TEMPERATURE RANGE: may be operated at rated DC voltage from -55°C to +85°C or to +105°C at voltages,
indicated by the derating curve

CAPACITANCE: shall be measured at or referred to 1000 ± 20 Hz at 25 ± 5°C for capacitance values up to
and including 1.0 mfd. Capacitance values greater than 1.0 mfd., shall be measured at 60 ± 6 Hz.
Ref: MIL-STD-202 E, Method 305
DISSIPATION FACTOR: shall be measured as described for capacitance and shall not exceed 0.2%.
Typical values, throughout temperature range are given on curve characteristics.
INSULATION RESISTANCE: shall be measured at rated voltage or 500 VDC, whichever is less. After two
minutes electrification, minimum values shall be 200,000 meg/mfd, need not exceed 400,000 Megohms.
Ref: MIL-STD-202E, Method 302
DIELECTRIC STRENGTH: capacitors shall withstand specified DC test potential for 60 seconds through a
limiting resistance of 1 ohm/volt
Terminal to terminal - 150% of DC rating.
Terminal to case - 200% of DC almost rating
Ref: MIL-STD-202E, Method 301
DIELECTRIC ABSORPTION: dielectric absorption shall not exceed 0.1% when tested to MIL-C-19978D
Ref: MIL-C-19978D, paragraph 3.22

APPLICATIONS




Metallized Polypropylene capacitors in Style "U" pre-molded plastic cases eliminate problems of insulation,
environment, space and weight. These units have consistently met the environmental requirements of MIL-C55514A and moisture resistance per MIL-STD-202E, Method 103B.
Metallized Polypropylene capacitors combine the reliability of self-healing action with high dielectric strength and
insulation resistance of Polypropylene film.
Metallized Polypropylene capacitors are designed primarily for DC application -- blocking, coupling, bypass, DC
line filtering where RF and audio components are small in comparison to DC rating. However, they have been
used very successfully in such AC power applications as power factor correction and AC line filtering.
Metallized Polypropylene capacitors operate at all temperatures from -55 to +85°C., de-rate to 60% at 105°C.
