MIL-C-39014E, MILITARY SPECIFICATION: CAPACITOR, FIXED, CERAMIC DIELECTRIC (GENERAL PURPOSE), ESTABLISHED RELIABILITY and NONESTABLISHED RELIABILITY, GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR (04-DEC-1990) [S/S BY MIL-PRF-39014F]
MIL-C-39014E, MILITARY SPECIFICATION:
CAPACITOR, FIXED, CERAMIC DIELECTRIC (GENERAL PURPOSE),
ESTABLISHED RELIABILITY and NONESTABLISHED RELIABILITY,
GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR (04-DEC-1990) [S/S BY MIL-PRF-39014F]., This specification covers the general requirements for established reliability (ER) and nonestablished
reliability (non-ER), (product level C), general purpose, ceramic dielectric, insulated, fixed capacitors for use in
applications where appreciable variations in capacitance with respect to temperature, voltage, frequency, and life can
be tolerated (see 6.1). ER capacitors covered by this specification have failure rate levels (FRL) (M, P, R, and S)
ranging from 1.0 to 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours. These FRLs are established at a 90-percent confidence level and
maintained at a 10-percent producer\'s risk and based on life tests performed at maximum rated voltage at maximum
rated temperature. An acceleration factor of 8:1 has been used to relate life test data obtained at 200 percent of rated
voltage at maximum rated temperature, to rated voltage at rated temperature.
