EN IEC 60384-13:2020

Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment - Part 13: Sectional specification - Fixed polypropylene film dielectric metal foil DC capacitors

IEC 60384-13:2020 specifies preferred ratings and characteristics, selects from IEC 60384-1:2016 the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods, and gives general performance requirements for this type of capacitor. Test severities and requirements specified in detail specifications referring to this sectional specification are of an equal or higher performance level. Lower performance levels are not permitted. This part of IEC 60384 applies to fixed direct current capacitors, using as dielectric a polypropylene film with electrodes of thin metal foils. The capacitors covered by this document are intended for use in electronic equipment. Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by IEC 60384-14. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) revision of all parts of the document based on the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2018, and harmonization with other similar kinds of documents; b) the document structure has been organized to follow new sectional specification structure decided in TC 40; c) revised tables and Clause 5 so as to prevent duplications and contradictions.

Condensateurs fixes utilisés dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 13: Spécification intermédiaire - Condensateurs fixes pour courant continu à diélectrique en film de polypropylène à armatures en feuilles métalliques

L’IEC 60384-13:2020 spécifie des valeurs assignées et des caractéristiques préférentielles, sélectionne, à partir de l’IEC 60384-1:2016, les procédures d’assurance de la qualité, les essais et les méthodes de mesure appropriées et spécifie les exigences de performances générales pour ce type de condensateur. Les sévérités d'essai et les exigences précisées dans les spécifications particulières sont d'un niveau supérieur ou égal à celui de la présente spécification intermédiaire. Des niveaux de performances inférieurs ne sont pas admis. La présente partie de l’IEC 60384 s’applique aux condensateurs fixes pour courant continu, utilisant comme diélectrique un film de polypropylène avec des électrodes de feuilles métalliques minces. Les condensateurs couverts par le présent document sont destinés à être utilisés dans des équipements électroniques. Les condensateurs d’antiparasitage ne sont pas inclus, mais sont couverts par l’IEC 60384-14. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) revision of all parts of the document based on the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2018, and harmonization with other similar kinds of documents; b) the document structure has been organized to follow new sectional specification structure decided in TC 40; c) revised tables and Clause 5 so as to prevent duplications and contradictions.
