IEC 60384-22:2019

Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment - Part 22: Sectional specification - Fixed surface mount multilayer capacitors of ceramic dielectric, Class 2

IEC 60384-22:2019 is applicable to fixed unencapsulated surface mount multilayer capacitors of ceramic dielectric, Class 2, for use in electronic equipment. These capacitors have metallized connecting pads or soldering strips and are intended to be mounted on printed boards, or directly onto substrates for hybrid circuits. Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by IEC 60384-14. The object of this document is to prescribe preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC 60384-1 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 are of equal or higher performance levels, lower performance levels are not permitted. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - revision of the structure in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2016 (seventh edition) to the extent practicable, and for harmonizing with IEC 60384-21;
- deletion of the description on the permissible reactive power in 6.2.2 because it is not appropriate for the purposes of this document;
- the dimensions of 0201M in Annex A have been added.

Condensateurs fixes utilisés dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 22: Spécification intermédiaire - Condensateurs multicouches fixes à diélectriques en céramique pour montage en surface, de classe 2

L'IEC 60384:2019 est applicable aux condensateurs multicouches fixes à diélectriques en céramique pour montage en surface non encapsulés, Classe 2, utilisés dans les équipements électroniques. Ces condensateurs possèdent des pastilles de connexion métallisées ou des bandes de brasure et sont destinés à être montés sur des cartes imprimées ou directement sur des substrats de circuits hybrides. Les condensateurs d'antiparasitage ne sont pas inclus, mais ils sont couverts par l'IEC 60384-14. L'objet du présent document est de prescrire des caractéristiques et des valeurs assignées préférentielles et de sélectionner à partir de l'IEC 60384-1 les procédures d'assurance de la qualité, les essais et les méthodes de mesure appropriées et de donner les exigences de performance générales pour ce type de condensateur. Les exigences et les sévérités des essais prescrits dans les spécifications particulières se référant à la présente spécification intermédiaire sont d'un niveau de performance supérieur ou égal, des niveaux de performance inférieurs ne sont pas admis. La présente édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - révision de la structure conformément aux directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2:2016 (septième édition), dans la mesure du possible, et pour l'harmonisation avec l'IEC 60384-21;
- suppression de la description de la puissance réactive admissible en 6.2.2, parce qu'elle n'est pas adaptée aux besoins du présent document;
- les dimensions de 0201M à l'Annexe A ont été ajoutées.
