本规范涵盖了密封在金属、陶瓷或玻璃外壳中的既定可靠性（ER）和非既定可靠性（非ER）、直流电、塑料或纸塑电介质、固定电容器的一般要求。满足本文规定的既定可靠性要求的电容器的故障率（FR）水平为每1000小时1.0%至0.001%（见1.2.1.9）。这些FRL是在90%的置信水平下建立的，并保持在10%的生产商风险下，基于在最大额定电压和最大额定温度下进行的寿命测试。加速度系数为5: 1用于将在适用的高测试温度下在140%额定直流电压下获得的寿命测试数据与适用的高试验温度下的额定电压相关联。本规范还包括与适用电容器一起使用的可拆卸安装固定器（见3.1）。百万分之一（ppm）质量体系用于记录和报告根据本规范提供的ER电容器的平均输出质量。制造过程中需要统计过程控制（SPC）技术，以最大限度地减少按照本规范要求供应的ER电容器的生产变化。

This specification covers the general requirements for established reliability (ER) and non-established reliability (non-ER), direct current (dc), plastic or paper-plastic dielectric, fixed capacitors, hermetically sealed in metal or ceramic or glass cases. Capacitors meeting the established reliability requirements specified herein have failure rate (FR) levels ranging from 1.0 percent to 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours (see 1.2.1.9). These FRLs are established at a 90-percent confidence level and maintained at a 10-percent producer's risk and are based on life tests performed at maximum rated voltage and maximum rated temperature. An acceleration factor of 5:1 has been used to relate the life test data obtained at 140 percent of rated dc voltage at the applicable high test temperature to the rated voltage at the applicable high test temperature. This specification also covers removable mounting retainers for use with applicable capacitors (see 3.1). A parts per million (ppm) quality system is used for documenting and reporting the average outgoing quality of ER capacitors supplied to this specification. Statistical process control (SPC) techniques are required in the manufacturing process to minimize variation in production of ER capacitors supplied to the requirements of this specification.
