[time-nuts] GC-1000 Clock Cap Choice?

[Bob Camp]

Hi

The other thing to watch out for is the temperature coefficient. Some of the high K materials move a *lot* with modest changes in temperature. There are indeed industry standards on what a given dielectric code should be. In some cases there have ben liberties taken interpreting the codes. You really need to go back to the original data sheet on each part to see what the temp co actually is. 

In a modestly warm box (say 60 C) the net effect between voltage and temperature may be that you have < 1/4 your original capacitance.
