PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

Operating Temperature Range

- 55 °C to + 85 °C (to + 125 °C with voltage derating)

Capacitor Tolerance

± 20 % ± 10 % at 120 Hz

ESR

Limits per Standard Ratings Table

DC Leakage Current (DCL max.)

At 25 °C the leakage current shall not exceed values listed in the Standard Rating table.
