VOLTAGE RATING

100% of listed voltage rating from -55°C to +65°C,

derate linearly to 60% of the listed voltage rating at +85°C.

 VOLTAGE TEST

Reference MIL-STD-202, Method 301. Surge current is limited to 1 ampere maximum. Voltage applied for 1 minute (maximum) @ +25°C. Ground test is performed terminal to case (where the case is not a terminal) at 200% of the DC voltage rating. Dielectric strength test is performed terminal to terminal at 200% of the DC voltage rating.
