DESIGN
The capacitors consist of a ceramic disc of which both sides
are silver-plated. Connection leads are made of tinned
copper having a diameter of 0.025" (0.64 mm). The
capacitors may be supplied with radial kinked or straight
leads having a lead spacing of 0.375" (9.5 mm) or 0.250"
(6.4 mm). The standard tolerance is ± 20 %. Coating is
made of flame retardant epoxy resin in accordance
with “UL 94 V-0.”
