Description
The PS 00.20 is a series of polystyrene capacitors in a cylindrical case with both leads on one end, for printed-circuit mounting („terminale de implantare”), for general use and professional circuits [1]. The Agenda radioelectronistului (2nd edition, 1989) lists three package codes, PS 00.23 to PS 00.25, with 1201–100000 pF at 25–630 V, and the category voltage Uc of each row; it names no STAS standard [1].
The Agenda does not say which works made the series: for the whole section on capacitors made in Romania it lists IPEE Electroargeș of Curtea de Argeș, Tehnoton of Iași, IIS Electronica of Bucharest and IPRS Băneasa as producers, and the 1st edition (1983) names only the first three [3][4]. It is listed here as made by IPRS Băneasa; Un secol de electronică în România says that the polystyrene capacitor line of IPRS passed to IPEE Curtea de Argeș in 1980 [5].
Coded as [3]:
| Part | Meaning |
|---|---|
| PS | construction type (structure, dielectric, terminals): PS (PSC) – polystyrene capacitor with axial leads (or leads for printed-circuit mounting) |
| 00 | technological family („familia tehnologică”) |
| 23…25 | package code („codul capsulei”) |
The nominal capacitance and the tolerance are marked in clear, the rated voltage by a colour on the end next to the lead connected to the outer electrode: 25 V blue, 63 V yellow, 160 V red, 250 V green, 630 V black, 1000 V black and in clear [3].
Both editions print the climatic category as 10/070/40 (PS 00.10: 10/070/04) and head the length column „L + 2” [1][2]. The 1st edition gives 10.000…25.000 pF for PS 00.24 at 63 V, 12.000…25.000 pF for PS 00.25 at 250 V, and repeats the diameter 16.5 in the lead-length cell of PS 00.25 at 630 V, where the 2nd edition has 42 mm [2][1].
Rated voltages are DC („Vcc”). Dimensions in mm (fig. 20.25): length L (printed „L + 2”), maximum diameter Dmax, minimum lead length lmin and lead diameter ø from the table [1].
