Requirements
The capacitors must withstand the voltage without
breakdowns or flashovers and without decreased
insulation resistance below the value in each detail
specification. No visible damage
As above
Immersion of the terminations into the solder bath shall
be completed in a time not exceeding 1 second and the
terminations shall remain immersed to the specified
depth for 10 + 1 second and then be withdrawn.
