Defines fixed chip capacitors for direct current, with metallized electrodes and polyphenylene sulfide dielectric for use in electronic equipment. Metallized connecting pads or soldering strips that are intended to be mounted directly onto substrates for hybrid circuits or onto printed boards. These may have "self-healing properties" depending on conditions of use. Primarily intended for applications where the a.c. component is small with respect to the rated voltage. Not applicable are the capacitors for radio interference suppression.
