PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

Category temperature range

-55 °C to +200 °C

Category voltage

Category voltage is the same within entire temperature range and is equal to rated voltage

Capacitance tolerance

± 20 %, ± 10 %, tested via bridge method, at 25 °C, 120 Hz

Dissipation factor

Limits per Standard Ratings table. Tested via bridge method, at 25 °C, 120 Hz

ESR
