ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Note: Capacitors with X7R and Z5U dielectrics are not intended for applications
across AC supply mains or AC line filtering with polarity reversal. Contact plant
for recommendations.
*Hi-Rel screening for C0G and X7R only. Screening consists of 100% Group A
(B Level), Subgroup 1 per MIL-PRF-49470.
**Form, fit & Function equivalent to MIL-PRF-49470 Part.
Applies to 50V rated parts only. No Screening.
