Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment - Part 15: Sectional specification: Fixed tantalum capacitors with non-solid or solid electrolyte

IEC 60384-15:2017(E) applies to through-hole/leaded polar and bipolar tantalum electrolyte capacitors with solid and non‑solid electrolyte for use in electronic equipment. It includes capacitors for long‑life applications and capacitors for general‑purpose applications. This document prescribes preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC 60384‑1:2016 the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and to give general performance requirements for this type of capacitor. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Revision of the structure in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2016 (seventh edition) to the extent practicable, and harmonization between other similar kinds of documents. b) In addition, Clause 4 and all the tables have been reviewed in order to prevent duplications and contradictions.

Condensateurs fixes utilisés dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 15: Spécification intermédiaire - Condensateurs fixes au tantale, à électrolyte non solide ou solide

L’IEC 60384-15:2017 s’applique aux condensateurs au tantale à montage par trous/au plomb, polarisés et bipolaires, à électrolyte solide et à électrolyte non solide, utilisés dans les équipements électroniques. Elle comprend les condensateurs utilisés dans des applications de longue durée de vie et les condensateurs utilisés dans des applications d’usage général. Les condensateurs pour des applications d’usage spécial peuvent nécessiter des exigences supplémentaires. Le présent document couvre deux sous-familles fondamentales: - Sous-famille 1: Condensateurs fixes au tantale, à électrolyte non solide et à anode poreuse. - Sous-famille 2: Condensateurs fixes au tantale, à électrolyte solide et à anode poreuse. Le présent document a pour objet de spécifier les valeurs assignées et caractéristiques préférentielles, de sélectionner, en se référant à l’IEC 60384-1:2016, les procédures d’assurance de la qualité, les essais et les méthodes de mesure appropriés et de donner les exigences de performance générales pour ce type de condensateur. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: a) La structure a été révisée selon les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2:2016 (septième édition) dans la mesure du possible, et harmonisée avec d’autres types de documents similaires. b) En outre, l'Article 4 et tous les tableaux ont été revus afin d'éviter les doubles emplois et les contradictions.

Fiksni kondenzatorji za uporabo v elektronski opremi - 15. del: Področna specifikacija - Fiksni tantalski kondenzatorji s tekočim ali trdnim elektrolitom (IEC 60384-15:2017)

Ta del standarda IEC 60384 se uporablja za skoznje/svinčene polarne in bipolarne tantalske elektrolitske kondenzatorje s tekočim ali trdnim elektrolitom za uporabo v elektronski opremi.
Zajema kondenzatorje z dolgo življenjsko dobo in kondenzatorje za splošno uporabo.
Za kondenzatorje za posebne namene so morda potrebne dodatne zahteve.
Ta dokument zajema dve osnovni podskupini:
• Podskupina 1: fiksni tantalski kondenzatorji s tekočim elektrolitom in porozno anodo.
• Podskupina 2: fiksni tantalski kondenzatorji s trdnim elektrolitom in porozno anodo.
