scope:

This Recommendation relates to fixed ceramic dielectric capacitors Type 3, indended for use in equipment for telecommunication and in devices employing similar techniques, operating in the low radio frequency range, and reactive power ratings not exceeding approximately 10 var, at an a.c. peack value not exceeding 2/3 of the applied d.c. voltage value. To establish uniform requirements for judging the electrical, mechanical and climatic properties of capacitors, to describe test methods and to give recommendations for standard dimensions and classification into categories according to their ability to withstand conditions as specified in IEC Publication 68.
