Abstract
A test fixture for a miniature polygonal capacitor having radial and/or al terminal leads and/or conductive end electrodes, includes an insulative support on which are two brackets to which is secured a shield plate assembly. The shield plate assembly is comprised of a pair of slightly spaced parallel trapezoidal shield plates. Opposing inner edges of the plates are angularly disposed to facilitate receiving the capacitor under test, when the axial terminal leads of the capacitor enter between the shield plates. Another shield plate assembly is mounted to and under the brackets, and includes another pair of parallel shield plates disposed perpendicular to the upper trapezoidal shield plates and between the angular edges to receive any radial lead of the capacitor. Connectors for the external capacitor measuring device are secured to the conductive brackets. A stiffener plate may be secured to the insulative plate to keep it rigid and prevent capacitance changes of the test fixture.
