IEC 60384-19:2006

Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment - Part 19: Sectional specification: Fixed metallized polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric surface mount d.c. capacitors

IEC 60384-19:2006 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 direct 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. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993 and constitutes minor revisions related to tables, figures and references. This bilingual version (2012-03) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in 2006-01.

Condensateurs fixes utilisés dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 19: Spécification intermédiaire: Condensateurs fixes pour montage en surface pour courant continu à diélectrique en film de polytéréphtalate téréphtalate métallisé

La CEI 60384-19:2006 s'applique aux condensateurs fixes pour courant continu à électrodes métallisées et à diélectrique en polyéthylène téréphtalate destinés aux équipements électroniques. Ces condensateurs sont équipés de contacts de connexion métallisés ou de bandes de brasure et sont destinés à être montés directement sur des substrats pour circuits hybrides ou sur des cartes imprimées. Ces condensateurs peuvent avoir des propriétés "auto-cicatrisantes" en fonction des conditions d'utilisation. Ils sont principalement destinés à des applications dans lesquelles la composante alternative est petite par rapport à la tension assignée. La Norme internationale CEI 60384-19 a été établie par le comité d'études 40: Condensateurs et résistances pour équipements électroniques. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1993. Elle constitue des révisions mineures des tableaux, valeurs et références.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.

FIXED CAPACITORS FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –

Part 19: Sectional specification – Fixed metallized polyethylene-
terephthalate film dielectric surface mount d.c. capacitors

1 General
1.1 Scope
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 direct 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.
1.2 Object
The object of this standard is to prescribe preferred ratings and characteristics and to select
from IEC 60384-1:1999, the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring
methods and to give general performance requirements for this type of capacitor. Test
severities and requirements prescribed in detail specifications referring to this sectional
specification shall be of equal or higher performance level, because lower performance levels
are not permitted.
1.3 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
IEC 60063:1963, Preferred number series for resistors and capacitors
Amendment 1 (1967)
Amendment 2 (1977)
IEC 60068-1, Environmental testing – Part 1: General and guidance
IEC 60384-1, Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment – Part 1: Generic specification
IEC 60410, Sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributes
ISO 3, Preferred numbers – Series of preferred numbers
1.4 Information to be given in a detail specification
Detail specifications shall be derived from the relevant blank detail specification.
Detail specifications shall not specify requirements inferior to those of the generic, sectional
or blank detail specification. When more severe requirements are included, they shall be
listed in 1.9 of the detail specification and indicated in the test schedules, for example, by an
asterisk.

NOTE The information given in 1.4.1 may, for convenience, be presented in tabular form.
The following information shall be given in each detail specification and the values quoted
shall preferably be selected from those given in the appropriate clause of this sectional
specification.
1.4.1 Outline drawing and dimensions
There shall be an illustration of the capacitor as an aid to easy recognition and for comparison
of the capacitor with others. Dimensions and their associated tolerances, which affect inter-
changeability and mounting, shall be given in the detail specification. All dimensions are
preferably to be stated in millimetres.
Normally, the numerical values shall be given for the length, width and height of the body.
When necessary, for example when a number of items (sizes and capacitance/voltage
ranges) is covered by a detail specification, the dimensions and their associated tolerances
shall be placed in a table below the drawing.
When the configuration is other than described above, the detail specification shall state such
dimensional information as will adequately describe the capacitor.
1.4.2 Mounting
The detail specification shall give guidance on methods of mounting for normal use. Mounting
for test and measurement purposes (when required) shall be in accordance with 4.1 of this
sectional specification.
