COMMERCIAL CAPACITORS
Presidio provides high quality ceramic capacitors for a wide variety of commercial applications. Every component
must pass the test criteria listed below.
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
Every lot undergoes the following inspection and tests:
a) Capacitance — All parts are tested at 25°C and
1VACRMS in accordance with Method 305 of MIL-STD202. Y5V and low voltage parts follow EIA guidelines.
d) Insulation Resistance (IR @ 25°C) — All parts are tested
at 25°C and rated voltage in accordance with Method 302
of MIL-STD-202. The minimum IR required is 100,000
megohms or 1,000 megohm-microfarads.
e) Visual — Performed on pieces in accordance with
Presidio internal workmanship criteria.
b) Dissipation Factor (DF) — See following table:

HIGH RELIABILITY “HR” CAPACITORS
For applications where reliability, but not full military screening is required, Presidio recommends its high reliability
“HR” capacitors. The “HR” code signifies use of the test program below, or the use of a customer Source Control
Document (SCD) that includes voltage conditioning.
Every lot undergoes the following inspection and tests:
d) Dielectric Withstanding Voltage (DWV) — All parts are
tested at 2.5X rated voltage in accordance with Method
301 of MIL-STD-202, or according to EIA/MIL Standards.
a) Voltage Conditioning — All parts receive a voltage
conditioning at 2X rated voltage and 125°C for a minimum
of 8 hours. An accelerated voltage conditioning, following
MIL-PRF-55681 guidelines, may be used at Presidio’s
discretion.
e) Insulation Resistance (IR @ 25°C) — All parts are tested
at 25°C and rated voltage in accordance with Method 302
of MIL-STD-202. The minimum IR required is 100,000
megohms or 1,000 megohm-microfarads.
