EVALUATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF MIL-C-14157 CAPACITORS FOR NUCLEAR RADIATION ENVIRONMENT. Scientific Report No. 6
Capacitors impregnated with inhibited FC-43 and inhibited bis(phenoxyphenyl) ether dielectric fluids failed during gamma irradiation after 63 and 235 hr, respectively. Crosslinked polystyrene capacitors which were irradiated at room temperature failed in 377 hr. The stadard CPM08 capacitors survived 1000 hr of irradiation at room temperature. Capacitors subjected to post irradiation environmental tests survived. Six of twelve of the Bendix Scintilla (E-200) capacitors survived the elevated temperature gamma irradiation test. The E-200 units are thus the most radiation-resistant capacitors that have been tested thus far. Capacitors are being manufactured with isocyanate treated Mylar, cyanoethylated Kraft paper, and the radiation- resistant dielectric fluids. (auth)
