Fixed inductors for electromagnetic interference suppression -- Part 1: Generic specification

Applies to inductors designed for electromagnetic interference suppression intended for use within, or associated with, electronic or electrical equipment and machines. It is restricted to inductors for which safety tests are appropriate. The combination of two or more inductors within one enclosure is also included. Inductors within the scope of this standard may also be used to protect apparatus and machines from electrical noise and voltage or current transients coming from either the supply or from other parts of the apparatus. It may not necessarily apply in its entirety to inductors intended for use on motor vehicles, in aircraft or for marine applications.

FIXED INDUCTORS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION –

Part 1: Generic specification


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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.
International Standard IEC 60938-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 40:
Capacitors and resistors for electronic equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1988 and constitutes a
minor revision related to tables, figures and references. It also includes Amendment 1 (2006).

This bilingual version, published in 2008-08, corresponds to the English version.

2 Technical data
2.1 Units and symbols
Units, graphical symbols, letter symbols and terminology shall, whenever possible, be taken
from the following publications:
IEC 60027
IEC 60050
IEC 60617
ISO 1000
When further items are required, they shall be derived in accordance with the principles of the
documents listed above.
2.2 Definitions
For the purpose of this International Standard, the following definitions apply.
2.2.1
type
a group of components having similar design features and the similarity of whose
manufacturing techniques enables them to be grouped together either for qualification approval
or for quality conformance inspection
They are generally covered by a single detail specification.
NOTE Components described in several detail specifications, may, in some cases, be considered as belonging to
the same type.
2.2.2
style
a sub-division of a type, generally based on dimensional factors
A style may include several variants, generally of a mechanical order
2.2.3
family (of electronic components)
a group of electronic components which predominantly displays a particular physical attribute
and/or fulfils a defined function
2.2.4
sub-family (of electronic components)
a group of components within a family manufactured by similar technological methods
2.2.5
rated voltage (U )
R
rated voltage is either the maximum r.m.s. operating voltage of rated frequency or the
maximum d.c. operating voltage which may be applied continuously to the terminations of the
inductor at any temperature between the lower category temperature and the rated temperature
NOTE For inductors with only one winding, the rated voltage should only be applied between one terminal and any
conducting surface with which the case is liable to come into contact in normal use. For inductors having more than
one winding, the rated voltage may be applied across two individual windings.
2.2.6
category voltage (U )
C
maximum voltage which may be applied continuously to an inductor at its upper category
temperature

2.2.7
lower category temperature
minimum external surface temperature for which the inductor has been designed to operate
continuously
2.2.8
upper category temperature
maximum external surface temperature for which the inductor has been designed to operate
continuously
NOTE The external surface temperature can be affected by internal heating due to the lead-through current. The
terminations are considered to be part of the external surface.
2.2.9
rated temperature
maximum ambient temperature at which an inductor can carry its rated current
2.2.10
rated current
maximum r.m.s. operating current at rated frequency or maximum d.c. operating current which

a) free air (I );
RO
b) with a specified heat sink (I ).
RH
2.2.11
rated inductance (L )
R
inductance value for which the inductor has been designed and which is usually indicated upon it
2.2.12
insertion loss
ratio of the voltage before and after the insertion of the suppressor in the circuit as measured
at the terminations
NOTE 1 The insertion loss can be measured either with a symmetrical or an asymmetrical test circuit.
NOTE 2 When expressed in decibels, the insertion loss is 20 times the logarithm of the ratio stated.
2.2.13
asymmetrical test circuit
a test circuit in which the inductor under test is connected with a coaxial cable of which the
outer conductor constitutes a return path for high-frequency current

2.4.2 Coding
When coding is used for tolerance or date of manufacture, the method shall be selected from
those given in IEC 60062.
3 Quality assessment procedures
3.1 General
When these standards are used for the purpose of a full quality assessment system such
as the IEC quality assessment system for electronic components (IECQ), compliance to 3.4 or
3.5 is required.
When these standards are used outside quality assessment systems for purposes such as
design proving or type testing, the procedures and requirements of 3.4.1 and 3.4.3 may be
used, but the tests and parts of tests shall be applied in the order given in the test schedules.
Before inductors can be qualified according to the procedures of this clause, the manufacturer shall
obtain the approval of his organization in accordance with the provisions of IEC QC 001002-3.
For certification by an independent test laboratory the procedure of 3.4.3 shall be sufficient,
except that the test laboratory will produce the evidence of conformance.
