scope:

This specification covers the general requirements for low-pass filters and capacitors used to suppress radio frequency/electromagnetic interference. Filters furnished to the requirements of this specification contain shunting ceramic discoidal capacitors and series inductors (FSC 5915). Capacitors furnished to the requirements of this specification contains shunting ceramic discoidal capacitors (FSC 5910). For the purposes of this specification, feed-through capacitor types (C circuit configuration) are referred to herein as a filter. Passband power may be alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) and the filter is used primarily in the reduction of broadband radio frequency interference. Filters covered by this specification is capable of operation over the temperature range of −55°C to +125°C. This specification provides for two levels of product assurance requirements, class B and class S (Space). Statistical process control (SPC) techniques are required in the manufacturing process to minimize variation in production of filters supplied to the requirements of this specification.
