TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF ST CAPACITORS
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
ITEM PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Operating temperature range -55 °C to +85 °C (to +125 °C with voltage derating)
Capacitor tolerance ± 20 %, ± 10 % at 120 Hz, at +25 °C
Capacitor change by temperature Limit per Standard Ratings table
ESR Limit per Standard Ratings table, at +25 °C, 120 Hz
Impedance Limit per Standard Ratings table, at -55 °C, 120 Hz
DCL (leakage current) Limit per Standard Ratings table
AC ripple current Limit per Standard Ratings table, at +85 °C and 40 kHz
Reverse voltage There shall be no continuous reverse voltage. Transient reverse voltage surges are acceptable under
the following conditions:
a) The peak reverse voltage is equal to or less than 1.5 V and the product of the peak current times
the duration of the reverse transient is 0.05 As or less
b) The repetition rate of the reverse voltage surges is less than 10 Hz
Surge voltage Surge voltage shall be in accordance with MIL-PRF-39006 and Table II of DSCC93026.
The DC rated surge voltage is the maximum voltage to which the capacitors can be subjected under
any conditions including transients and peak ripple at the highest line voltage.
The DC surge voltage is 115 % of rated DC voltage.
