Overview

EN 60384-4-1:2007 (CLC adoption of IEC 60384-4-1:2007) is a blank detail specification for fixed aluminium electrolytic capacitors with non-solid (liquid) electrolyte, defined at assessment level EZ. It is a supplementary document to the sectional specification (IEC 60384-4) and prescribes the required style, layout and minimum content for product detail specifications. Detail specifications that do not follow this blank template may not be considered compliant with IEC/CENELEC requirements.

Key Topics

• Scope and purpose: Template for drafting consistent detail specifications for fixed aluminium electrolytic capacitors (non-solid electrolyte) used in electronic equipment.
• Structure and content requirements: Defines required sections such as general data, dimensions, ratings and characteristics, normative references, marking, ordering information, certified records and additional information.
• Technical characteristics to be specified: capacitance range and tolerance, rated voltage and category voltage, climatic category, rated temperature, rated ripple current, tangent of loss angle (or ESR), leakage current, impedance, reverse voltage and insulation resistance.
• Tables and drawings: Includes placeholders for case size references, capacitance/voltage relationships, loss angle/impedance/rated ripple current, other characteristics and a test schedule for qualification and conformance inspection.
• Inspection and testing: References sampling and inspection procedures (e.g., IEC 60410) and provides a test schedule for qualification and lot release.
• Marking and ordering: Specifies minimum marking and ordering information required (capacitance, tolerance, rated voltage, detail-specification reference).
• Administrative/quality notes: Mentions IECQ/QC identification (QC 300301), conformity to CENELEC processes and bilingual publication status.

Applications and Who Uses It

This blank detail specification is practical for:

• Capacitor manufacturers drafting product detail specifications that must conform to IEC/CENELEC requirements.
• Quality and compliance engineers ensuring product documentation meets European and international standardization rules.
• Test laboratories and procurement teams using standardized specification formats to compare components and verify conformity.
• Design engineers and component specifiers who need clear, standardized parameter definitions (ESR, ripple current, leakage, climatic category) for reliable component selection.

Using EN 60384-4-1 helps ensure consistent documentation, facilitates product qualification and harmonizes national adoption of IEC standards for aluminium electrolytic capacitors with liquid electrolytes.

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 60384-4-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 40:
Capacitors and resistors for electronic equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2000 and constitutes a
minor revision related to tables, figures and references.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting

Blank detail specification
A blank detail specification is a supplementary document to the sectional specification and
contains requirements for style and layout and minimum content of detail specifications. Detail
specifications not complying with these requirements may not be considered as being in
accordance with IEC specifications nor shall they be so described.
In the preparation of detail specifications, the contents of 1.4 of the sectional specification
shall be taken into account.
The numbers between brackets on the first page correspond to the following information
which shall be inserted in the position indicated.
Identification of the detail specification
[1] The International Electrotechnical Commission or the National Standards Organization
under whose authority the detail specification is drafted.
[2] The IEC or National Standards number of the detail specification, data of issue and any
further information required by the national system.
[3] The number and issue number of the IEC or national generic specification.
[4] The IEC number of the blank detail specification.
Identification of the capacitor
[5] A short description of the type of capacitor.
[6] Information on typical construction (when applicable).
NOTE When the capacitor is not designed for use in printed board applications, this is clearly stated in the
detail specification in this position.
[7] Outline drawing with main dimensions which are of importance for interchangeability
and/or reference to the national or international documents for outlines. Alternatively, this
drawing may be given in an annex to the detail specification.
[8] Application or group of applications covered and/or assessment level.
NOTE The assessment level(s) to be used in a detail specification are selected from 3.5.4 of the sectional
specification. This implies that one blank detail specification may be used in combination with several
assessment levels, provided the grouping of the tests does not change.
[9] Reference data on the most important properties, to allow comparison between the
various capacitor types.
