The rated voltage is defined as the maximum voltage
which may be applied continuously to the capacitor.
When AC voltage is superimposed on DC voltage, V
or V
within the rated voltage range.
Visual inspection
Visual inspection, Vernier Caliper
The capacitors should not be damaged when DC
voltages of 300%* of the rated voltage are applied
between the terminals for 1 to 5 sec.
(Charge/Discharge current V 50mA)
*250% for char. X7R, Z5U, Y5V
The capacitor is placed in a
container with metal balls of 1mm
diameter so that each terminal,
short-circuited, is kept
approximately 2mm from the balls
as shown in the figure, and 250%
of the rated DC voltage is
impressed for 1 to 5 sec. between
capacitor terminals and metal
balls. (Charge/Discharge current
V 50mA)
The insulation resistance should be measured with a
DC voltage not exceeding the rated voltage at normal
temperature and humidity and within 2 min. of charging.
(Charge/Discharge current V 50mA)
The capacitance, Q/D.F. should be measured at 25˚C
at the frequency and voltage shown in the table.
The capacitance change should be measured after 5
min. at each specified temperature stage.
(1) Temperature Compensating Type
The temperature coefficient is determined using the
capacitance measured in step 3 as a reference. When
cycling the temperature sequentially from step 1
through 5 (-55 to +125˚C) the capacitance should be
within the specified tolerance for the temperature
coefficient and capacitance change as shown in Table
A. The capacitance drift is calculated by dividing the
differences between the maximum and minimum
measured values in step 1, 3 and 5 by the cap. value in
step 3.
(2) High Dielectric Constant Type
The ranges of capacitance change compared with the
25˚C value over the temperature ranges as shown in
Table B should be within the specified ranges.
