the capacitor under test, shall be 1.0 ohms max. After test,
the capacitors shall meet the following requirements:
DCL — Per applicable detail specification.
Cap — Within ±2% of initial measured value.
D.F. — Per applicable detail specification.
Note: Rated Voltages
≥
75V shall be tested at max 70V.

within 0.250 inches of the case, tubulation, or seal.
c) Cooling time prior to measurements after test shall be
30 minutes minimum.
d) After test, DC leakage. capacitance. and dissipation
factor measurements shall be made in accordance with
4.5.4, 4.5.5, and 4.5.6.
e) Capacitors shall be examined for external physical or
mechanical damage.
5. PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY
5.1
Leads
