4.4 Appendix D: Other Cap Voltages

The following cap voltages are available in a Standard Square cap but are not covered by MIL-PRF-22885. These caps are not available in Large Rectangular caps.

Standard Square caps with these voltages are available in all Display Styles (see Figure 1.2.1-A), Lighting Types (see Section 1.2.2), Fonts (see Section 1.2.3) and Colors (see Section 1.3). Only Option A from Figure 1.5.4-A (Segment Interconnect Options) is available with these voltages.

Luminance is controlled by variable voltage control. Discrete Dimming, Press-to-Test, and Blocking Diodes options are not available with cap voltages listed in Appendix D.
