Additional Information
High volumetric efficiency which results in small, lightweight units. This is particularly important to
designers of equipment where space is at a premium. Self-healing properties assuring greater
operational reliability. Low loss characteristics and high current carrying capabilities make these
capacitors especially suitable for specialized AC and RF applications. Applications for these capacitors
include tuned circuits, analog computer reference capacitors and precision timing and integrating circuits.

Marking And Date Code
All capacitors are marked with company initials "EC", corporate logo or EC trademark—in addition to type MC, capacitance,
tolerance, rated DC working voltage and date code. The first two digits of the date code represent the year, the second two digits the
week, i.e., 0952 is the 52nd week of 2009, 0902 is the second week of 2009.
Quality Assurance
Major emphasis is placed on quality assurance. EC is an ISO 9001-2000 and AS9100:2004 Certified Company. Raw material
inspection and the use of SPC manufacturing procedures assure the highest quality standards. Procedures are fully described in the
EC Quality Control Manual. Electronic Concepts will continue to advance the state-of-the-art by utilizing leading edge technology,
compact capacitor designs and establishing reliability procedures.
