How difficult is it to calibrate capacitors for use as standards?
Selection and calibration of capacitors for use as Standards is a challenging task, especially since the accuracies required, depening on the application, can be very demanding for the test gear as well as for the secondary- and working-standards used.
Are chip capacitors destined for high reliability testing?
Chip capacitors destined for high reliability testing are often designed with an added margin of safety, namely maximization of the dielectric thickness, and tested extensively for electrical properties prior to burn-in (e.g., capacitance, dissipation factor, and insulation resistance).
What are the recommendations for the capacitor part?
The recommendations for the capacitor part are given in IEC 60143-1:2004. Specific information about protective equipment can be found in Clause 3 and 10.6. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1994 and constitutes a technical revision.
Are cog capacitors a good solution for Laboratory Standards?
COG capacitors are low drift too, they do not show the known aging/drift effects of ferroelectric (class II and III) ceramic material capacitors and also no microphonic effects, and overall are a good solution for laboratory Standards. They are now available also in higher capacitances.
