2.4 Order of precedence. Unless otherwise noted herein or in the contract, in the event of a conflict between the
text of this document and the references cited herein (except for related specification sheets), the text of this
document takes precedence. Nothing in this document, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless
a specific exemption has been obtained.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Specification sheets. The individual item requirements shall be as specified herein and in accordance with the
applicable specification sheet. In the event of any conflict between the requirements of this specification and the
specification sheet, the latter shall govern.
3.2 First article. When specified (see
6.2
and
6.3),
a sample shall be subjected to first article inspection in
accordance with
4.4.

MIL-PRF-23269H
3.4 Materials. The material shall be as specified herein. However, when a definite material is not specified, a
material shall be used which will enable the capacitors to meet the performance requirements of this specification.
Acceptance or approval of any constituent material shall not be construed as a guaranty of the acceptance of the
finished product.
3.4.1 Solder. Solder for electrical connections shall be selected to meet the requirements of this specification. In
no case shall the solder start to melt at a temperature of less than 200°C.
3.4.2 Soldering flux. The use of materials that leave potentially corrosive residues should be avoided. Where
such materials must be used to ensure the satisfactory performance of a process, all potentially corrosive residues
must be neutralized and removed to prevent deterioration of the capacitor from the occurrence of related corrosion in
application.
3.5 Interface and physical dimension requirements. Capacitors shall meet the interface and physical dimensions
specified (see
3.1).
3.5.1 Terminals.
3.5.1.1 Lead terminals. Lead terminals shall be C, D, N, or W in accordance with

the option of the manufacturer.
3.5.2 Solder dip (retinning leads). Only the manufacturer (or their authorized category B distributor) may solder
dip/retin the leads of the product supplied to this specification provided the solder dip process has been approved by
the acquiring activity as follows:
a.
b.
As a corrective action if the lot fails the group A solderability test.
After the group A screening test. Following any solder dip or retinning process, the seal, insulation
resistance, capacitance, and dissipation factor measurements shall be performed on 100 percent of the lot.
The defective allowable (PDA) shall be the same as the group A, subgroup 1. Following these tests, the
manufacturer shall submit the lot to the group A solderability test.

member and an insulating material other than the glass material.
