MIL-DTL-3965 / MIL-C-3965 CL Tantalum Capacitors
Electronic Expediters stocks legacy CL tantalum electrolytic capacitors associated with MIL-C-3965 and later MIL-DTL-3965 documentation.
MIL-DTL-3965 was canceled in 2010. The specification covered fixed tantalum electrolytic capacitors using nonsolid electrolyte, including multiple CL styles.
MIL-DTL-3965 / MIL-C-3965 CL Tantalum Capacitors Identification
CL style numbers identify capacitor configurations within the 3965 family. Exact style, polarity, case construction, capacitance and voltage requirements should be matched to the original part requirement.
Search Expediters Inventory by Exact Part Number
Use the complete military style, specification reference or manufacturer part number whenever possible. Similar-looking military components can have materially different electrical, mechanical or environmental requirements.

Legacy and Current Military Requirements
Canceled military specifications remain highly relevant to legacy sourcing because installed equipment and historical drawings may continue to specify the original CL number even after new-design use has ended.
Hard-to-Find and Legacy Inventory
Expediters maintains substantial legacy electronic-component inventory that can be useful when broad-line distributors no longer stock an exact military style or historical manufacturer number. Inventory shown on this page is generated from currently available Expediters stock records.

MIL-DTL-3965 / MIL-C-3965 CL Tantalum Capacitors Questions
Can I search by the exact military style number?
Yes. Search by the complete military style, specification reference, manufacturer part number or available cross-reference.
Why are legacy specification numbers still important?
Military and aerospace equipment can remain in service for decades, so older drawings, BOMs and maintenance records often continue to reference specifications or styles that are inactive or canceled for new design.
Does a shared military family number mean two parts are interchangeable?
No. Always compare the complete applicable specification, detail sheet, electrical ratings, physical configuration and procurement requirements before considering a substitute.
Can Expediters help locate difficult-to-source parts?
Expediters specializes in extensive legacy electronic-component inventory, including military part numbers and styles that may be difficult to locate through current-production distribution channels.
