MIL-PRF-49467C

Abstract

This specification covers the general requirements for general purpose, ceramic multilayer high voltage capacitors for use in applications where appreciable variations in capacitance with respect to temperature, voltage, frequency, and life can be tolerated (BR and BZ characteristics) (see <a>6.1</a>), or in critical frequency determining applications, timing circuits, and other applications where absolute stability is required (BP characteristic). <b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> These capacitors are primarily designed for use where a small physical size with comparatively large electrical capacitance and high insulation resistance is required. General purpose (BR and BZ characteristics) ceramic capacitors are not intended for frequency-determining or precision circuits but are suitable for use as by-pass, filter, and noncritical coupling elements in high-frequency circuits. All of these applications are of the type where dissipation factor is not critical, and moderate changes due to temperature, voltage, and frequency variations do not effect the proper functioning of the circuit. BP characteristic ceramic capacitors are for use in critical frequency determining applications, timing circuits, and other applications where absolute stability is required. <br>
