本规范涵盖了既定可靠性（ER）和非ER、氧化铝、电解、固定电容器的一般要求（见6.1）。根据MIL-STD-690，满足本规范ER要求的电容器的可靠性基于在85℃额定电压下进行的寿命试验，故障率（FR）水平为每1000小时1.0%至0.001%。这些FR水平建立在60%的置信水平上，并由生产商承担10%的风险。

This specification covers the general requirements for established reliability (ER) and non-ER, aluminum oxide, electrolytic, fixed capacitors (see 6.1). Capacitors meeting the ER requirements of this specification have reliability established on the basis of life tests performed at rated voltage at 85 degrees C for failure rate (FR) levels ranging from 1.0 percent to 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours in accordance with MIL-STD-690. These FR levels are established at a 60-percent confidence level and are maintained at a 10 percent producer's risk.
