Condensateurs fixes utilisés dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 1: Spécification générique
L’IEC 60384:2021 est une spécification générique qui s’applique aux condensateurs fixes utilisés dans les équipements électroniques. Elle établit des définitions, des procédures de contrôle et des méthodes d’essai normalisées à utiliser dans les spécifications intermédiaires et particulières des composants électroniques, pour les systèmes d’assurance de la qualité ou pour tout autre usage. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: a) le document a été entièrement restructuré pour se conformer aux Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2; une nouvelle catégorisation des méthodes d’essai a été introduite et les méthodes d’essai ont été réorganisées selon ces nouvelles catégories; les tableaux, figures et références ont été révisés en conséquence; b) l’Annexe X a été ajoutée à des fins de comparaison avec l’édition précédente.
