Capacitance Tolerance
Standard capacitance tolerance is ±10%. Tolerances of ±5%, ±2%
and ±1% are also available.
Capacitors are tested 100% for:
• Capacitance
• Tolerance
• Dissipation Factor
• Dielectric withstanding voltage
• Insulation Resistance
Process and inspection data are maintained on file and available
upon special request.

Dielectric Strength
Capacitors withstand a DC potential of 1.5 x rated
voltage for one (1) minute without damage or
breakdown. Test voltage is applied and discharged
through a minimum resistance of 100 OHMS per
volt minimum.
Dissipation Factor
When mearsured at the frequency specified for
capacitance measurement, the dissipation factor will
not exceed 0.05%.

Additional Information
Its uniquely shaped lugs are mechanically sturdy and able to accommodate higher current with minimum inductance. The
termination lugs are also a direct "plug-in" type which adds to overall performance efficiency.
With the advent of the 5PT, the designer can maximize frequency characteristics -- and at the same time simplify system
design with miniaturization, reduce assembly work -- plus realize significant overall system cost savings.

Marking And Date Code
All capacitors are marked with company initials "EC", corporate logo or EC trademark—in addition to type 5PT, capacitance, tolerance, rated
DC working voltage and date code. The first two digits of the date code represent the year, the second two digits the week, i.e., 1252 is the
52nd week of 2012, 1202 is the second week of 2012.
Quality Assurance
Major emphasis is placed on quality assurance. EC is an ISO 9001-2008 and AS9100:2009 Certified Company. Raw material inspection and
the use of SPC manufacturing procedures assure the highest quality standards. Procedures are fully described in the EC Quality Control
Manual. Electronic Concepts will continue to advance the state-of-the-art by utilizing leading edge technology, compact capacitor designs and
establishing reliability procedures.
