Condensateurs électriques fixes à double couche utilisé dans les équipements électriques et électroniques - Partie 1: Spécification générique (IEC 62391-1:2022)

L’IEC 62391-1:2022 s’applique aux condensateurs électriques fixes à double couche (appelés ci-après condensateurs) principalement utilisés dans des circuits à courant continu d’équipements électriques et électroniques.
La présente partie de l’IEC 62391 définit les termes normalisés, les procédures de contrôle et les méthodes d’essai utilisés dans les spécifications intermédiaires et particulières des composants électroniques dans le cadre de l’assurance de la qualité, ainsi qu’à d’autres fins.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente:


       
  1. Le présent document a été intégralement restructuré pour satisfaire aux Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2. De nouvelles catégories techniques des méthodes d’essai ont été introduites, les méthodes d’essai ayant été réorganisées en fonction de ces nouvelles catégories. Les tableaux, figures et références ont été révisés en conséquence.

  2.    
  3. Les formules de calcul de l’efficacité de charge/décharge de l’Annexe D ont été divisées en deux: "Calcul prenant pour hypothèse la pleine charge et la pleine décharge" et "Calcul prenant pour hypothèse une charge et une décharge incomplètes, dues à la résistance interne".
