This means that for a verystrong requirement for non-magnetic criteria, the copper terminations are better than the silverpalladiumones;- both these terminations are suitable for non-magnetic applications as their magnetization isalways below 0.10 uem.CGS/g.TEMEX CERAMICS reserves the right to modify herein specifications and information at any time when necessary to provide optimum performance and cost.17MR_Capacitors.doc - Ed.03
