applicable device specification or drawing.
A.4.1.1.1 Metal package isolation test for class level S devices. Prior to die mounting, each metal-bodied package
with leads glass-isolated within .005 inch (0.13 mm) of the metal body shall have 600 V dc applied between the case
and leads not connected to the case. Packages which exhibit leakage greater than 100 nA shall be rejected.
A.4.1.2 Control and inspection of acquisition sources. The manufacturer shall be responsible for assuring that all
supplies and services used in the manufacture and test of microcircuits conform to all the requirements of this
