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-202E, 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 curves.
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 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

Metallized Polypropylene capacitors, in style "GA2" oval wrap and fill cases offer the user the best possible
volume density for this type unit. 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 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.
