Description

This standard establishes uniform methods for testing ceramic
capacitors, including basic environmental tests to determine
resistance to deleterious effects of natural elements, and physical
and electrical tests. The tests described herein have been prepared
to serve several purposes.

a) To specify suitable conditions obtainable in the laboratory
which give test results equivalent to the actual service conditions
existing in the field, and to obtain reproducibility of the results
of tests. The test methods described herein are not to be
interpreted as an exact and conclusive representation of actual
service operation in any one geographic location, since it is known
that the only true test for operation in a specific location is an
actual service test at that point;

b) To describe in one standard (1) all of the test methods
applicable to ceramic capacitors described in EIA-198, (2) those
newly-developed test methods that are feasible for use in several
standards, and (3) the recognized extreme environments,
particularly temperatures, barometric pressures etc., at which
capacitors will be tested under some of the presently-standardized
testing procedures. By so consolidating, these methods may be kept
uniform and thus result in conservation of equipment, man-hours,
and testing facilities. In achieving these objectives, it is
necessary to make each of the general tests adaptable to a broad
range of ceramic capacitors;

c) The test methods described herein for environmental, physical
and electrical evaluation of electronic parts shall also apply,
when suitable, to parts not covered by an approved specification or
drawing.
