Designation
Failure Rate Level
Identifies established
reliability, ceramic dielectric,
fixed, and chip capacitors
(Established at 90% confidence)
M = 1% per 1,000 hours
P = 0.1% per 1,000 hours
R = 0.01% per 1,000 hours
S = 0.001% per 1,000 hours
Style
Termination Finish
(Military Designations) Code
Identifies dimensions of the
capacitor and lead type,
where applicable.
M = Palladium Silver (CDR11, CDR12, CDR13, CDR14)
N = Gold over Nickel over Silver (CDR11, CDR13)
S = Solder Coated, Final (CDR12, CDR14, CDR23, CDR25)
T = Silver (CDR21, CDR22, CDR24)
U = Solder Coated, Nickel Barrier (CDR12, CDR14)
W = Solder plated, nickel barrier
Rated Temperature
-55°C to +125°C
Voltage Temperature (TCC) Limits
G = +90 ±20 PPM/°C
P = 0 ±30 PPM/°C
(CDR12, CDR14, not for new designs)
Y = Base metallization-barrier metal-tin (100 percent)
Z = Solder plated, Nickel Barrier (CDR12, CDR14)
N and U Terminations preferred for best
solderability, thermocompression bonding, leach
and migration resistance, and shelf life for chips
and pellets.
Capacitance Code
The first two digits represent significant figures and the last
digit specifies the number of zeros to follow. When fractional
values of pF are required, the letter R shall be used to indicate
the decimal point.
