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

IEC 60384-19:2022 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 directly onto printed boards or onto substrates for hybrid circuits. These capacitors can have "self-healing properties" depending on conditions of use. They are primarily intended for applications where the AC component is small with respect to the rated voltage.
This part of IEC 60384 specifies preferred ratings and characteristics, and selects from IEC 60384‑1:2021 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.
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:  
revision of all parts of the document based on the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2021, and harmonization with other similar kinds of documents;
the document structure has been organized to follow new sectional specification structure decided in TC 40;
revised tables and Clause 5 to prevent duplications and contradictions;
in Clause 5.2 (Mounting), 5.2.1, 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 have been added;
in Clause 5.5 (Shear test), 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 have been added;
in Clause 5.14 (Component solvent resistance), 5.14.1 and 5.14.2 have been added. In Table 8 and Table A.2, test 5.14 has been moved before 5.7.5 Final inspections in Group 1A and in Subgroup C1;
in Clause 5.15 (Solvent resistance of marking), 5.15.1 and 5.15.2 have been added;
tangent of loss angle measurement has been added to resistance to soldering heat test;

L’IEC 60384-19:2022 s’applique aux condensateurs fixes pour montage en surface 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 cartes imprimées ou des substrats pour circuits hybrides. Ces condensateurs peuvent avoir des propriétés "autocicatrisantes" 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 présente partie de l’IEC 60384 spécifie les valeurs assignées et les caractéristiques préférentielles, sélectionne, en se référant à l’IEC 60384‑1:2021, les procédures d’assurance de la qualité appropriées, les essais et les méthodes de mesure, et donne les exigences de performances générales pour ce type de condensateur. Les sévérités et les exigences des essais spécifiées dans les spécifications particulières se référant à la présente spécification intermédiaire ont un niveau de performance supérieur ou égal. Les niveaux de performance inférieurs ne sont pas autorisés.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente:  
révision de toutes les parties du document en se basant sur les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2:2021, et harmonisation avec d’autres types de documents;
la structure du document a été organisée pour suivre la nouvelle structure de spécification intermédiaire décidée au sein du TC 40;
les tableaux et l’Article 5 ont été révisés pour éviter les duplications et les contradictions;
5.2.1, 5.2.2 et 5.2.3 ont été ajoutés au paragraphe 5.2 (Montage);
5.5.1 et 5.5.2 ont été ajoutés au paragraphe 5.5 (Essai de cisaillement);
5.14.1 et 5.14.2 ont été ajoutés au paragraphe 5.14 (Résistance au solvant des composants); dans le Tableau 8 et le Tableau A.2, l’essai 5.14 a été déplacé avant 5.7.5 Contrôles finaux dans le groupe 1A et le sous-groupe C1;
5.15.1 et 5.15.2 ont été ajoutés au paragraphe 5.15 (Résistance au solvant du marquage);

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.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent

rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

IEC 60384-19 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 40: Capacitors and resistors for

electronic equipment. It is an International Standard.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015. This edition

constitutes a technical revision.

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 2:2021, 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 to prevent duplications and contradictions;
d) in Clause 5.2 (Mounting), 5.2.1, 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 have been added;
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
– 6 – IEC 60384-19:2022 © IEC 2022
e) in Clause 5.5 (Shear test), 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 have been added;

f) in Clause 5.14 (Component solvent resistance), 5.14.1 and 5.14.2 have been added. In

Table 8 and Table A.2, test 5.14 has been moved before 5.7.5 Final inspections in Group

1A and in Subgroup C1;

g) in Clause 5.15 (Solvent resistance of marking), 5.15.1 and 5.15.2 have been added;

h) tangent of loss angle measurement has been added to resistance to soldering heat test;

FIXED CAPACITORS FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –
Part 19: Sectional specification:
Fixed metallized polyethylene terephthalate film
dielectric surface mount DC capacitors
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 directly onto printed boards or onto substrates for hybrid circuits. These capacitors

can have "self-healing properties" depending on conditions of use. They are primarily intended

for applications where the AC component is small with respect to the rated voltage.

This part of IEC 60384 specifies preferred ratings and characteristics, and selects from

IEC 60384-1:2021 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.

Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by

IEC 60384-14.
