Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment - Part 19: Sectional specification - Fixed metallized polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric surface mount d.c. capacitors (IEC 60384-19:2015); German version EN 60384-19:2015
Festkondensatoren zur Verwendung in Geräten der Elektronik - Teil 19: Rahmenspezifikation - Oberflächenmontierbare Gleichspannungs-Kondensatoren mit metallisierter Polyethylen-Terephtalat-Folie als Dielektrikum (IEC 60384-19:2015); Deutsche Fassung EN 60384-19:2015
Overview
This part of IEC 60384 is applicable to fixed surface mount capacitors for direct current, with metallized electrodes and polyethylene-terephthalate dielectric for use in electronic equipment. These capacitors have metallized connecting pads or soldering strips and are intended to be mounted directly onto substrates for hybrid circuits or onto printed boards. These capacitors may have "self-healing properties" depending on conditions of use. They are primarily intended for applications where the a.c. component is small with respect to the rated voltage. Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by IEC 60384-14. This standard specifies the preferred ratings and properties for the type of capacitor described, selects from IEC 60384-1:2008 the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measurement methods, and gives general requirements for performance. Test severities and requirements prescribed in detail specifications referring to this sectional specification shall be of equal or higher performance level; lower performance levels are not permitted. The standard differs from the previous edition as follows: - Revised all parts of the document based on the IEC Directives Part 2:2011 (sixth edition) to the extent practicable, and harmonization between other similar kinds of documents. - Revised tables and Clause 4 so as to prevent duplications and contradictions. The responsible committee is DKE/K 611 "Kondensatoren" ("Capacitors") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
