DESIGN

The capacitors consist of a ceramic disc both sides of which are silver-plated. Connection leads are made of tinned copper having a diameter of 0.6 mm or 0.8 mm up to 3 kV and 0.8 mm for 6 kV.

The capacitors may be supplied with kinked or straight leads with a lead spacing of 5 mm (0.20), 7.5 mm (0.30) or 10 mm (0.40) and a lead length from 4 mm to 30 mm. The standard tolerance on capacitance is 5 or 10 for class 1 capacitors and ± 10 or ± 20 for class 2 capacitors. Encapsulation is made of gold-colored epoxy-resin, flammable resistant in accordance with “UL 94 V-0”
