INFORMATION
Polycarbonate capacitors are the superior choice for a wide range of electronic applications. That's
why they've gained such broad acceptance and the choice of circuit designers for decades. Now
we're being told, that no longer is anyone going to produce the right grade of polycarbonate And
once existing inventories are gone, well, these polycarbonate capacitors will be a thing of the past. NOT
TRUE! We produce our own polycarbonate in house. We always have, and we plan to continue to be
a source. So, now you don't have to make that change, or be forced to settle for a substitute capacitor
that doesn't the combined advantages of performance, reliability, compact size and cost!
Type MC12 is a versatile metallized polycarbonate capacitor in a wrap and tubular
with axial leads, designed for the following typical applications:commercial-industrial
including analog and timing circuits, high frequency, and networks.

Marking and Date Code
All capacitors are marked with company initials "EC", corporate logo or EC trademark—in addition to type MC12, capacitance,
tolerance, rated DC working voltage and date code. The two digits of the date code represent the year, the second two digits the
week, i.e., 0952 is the 52nd week of 2009, 0902 is the second week of 2009.
Quality Assurance
Major emphasis is placed on quality assurance. EC is an ISO 9001-2000 and AS9100:2004 Company. Raw material
inspection and the use of SPC manufacturing procedures assure the highest quality standards. Procedures are fully described in the
EC Quality Control Manual. Electronic Concepts will continue to advance the state-of-the-art by utilizing leading edge technology,
compact capacitor designs and establishing reliability procedures.
