scope:

This specification covers the requirements for high reliability, discoidal, ceramic dielectric, fixed capacitors. This specification provides for two levels of product requirements: Class B and class S. Capacitors furnished to the requirements of this specification are intended for use in Radio Frequency/Electromagnetic Interference (RFI/EMI) suppression filters covered by MIL-PRF-28861.

Classification. Discoidal capacitors are classified into one of the following reliability levels as specified.

Product level. Two product levels of discoidal capacitors are provided for in this specification. The product level is identified by a single letter in accordance with table I:

a. Class B - Class B is the base product level of this specification and is intended for all applications except for space applications. Class B discoidal capacitors are those which have been subjected to and passed all applicable requirements, tests, and inspections detailed herein, including in-process inspection and conformance inspection requirements for Class B.

b. Class S - Class S is the highest product level of this specification and is intended for space applications. Class S discoidal capacitors are those which have been subjected to and passed all applicable requirements, tests, and inspections detailed herein, including in-process inspection and conformance inspection requirements for Class S.
