horizontally to the center of capacitor side body.
Capacitance change 
Dissipation factor 
Leakage current
Within ± 10 % of initial value 
Initial specified limit 
Initial specified limit
There shall be no mechanical or visual damage to 
capacitors post-conditioning.
Vibration MIL-STD-202, method 204, condition D, 
10 Hz to 2000 Hz, 20 g peak, 8 h, at rated voltage
Electrical measurements are not applicable, since the 
same parts are used for shock (specified pulse) test. 
There shall be no mechanical or visual damage to 
capacitors post-conditioning.
