Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment - Part 2: Sectional specification - Fixed metallized polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric DC capacitors (IEC 60384-2:2021)

This part of IEC 60384 applies to fixed capacitors for direct current, with metallized electrodes
and polyethylene-terephthalate dielectric for use in electronic equipment.
These capacitors have a possibility of "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. Two performance grades of capacitors are covered: grade 1 for long-life
application and grade 2 for general application.
Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression and surface mount fixed metallized
polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric DC capacitors are not included, but are covered by
IEC 60384-14 and IEC 60384-19, respectively.
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 level, because lower performance levels are
not permitted.

Condensateurs fixes utilisés dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 2: Spécification intermédiaire - Condensateurs fixes pour courant continu à diélectrique en film de téréphtalate de polyéthylène métallisé (IEC 60384-2:2021)

L’IEC 60384-2:2021 s’applique aux condensateurs fixes pour courant continu, avec des électrodes métallisées et des diélectriques en téréphtalate de polyéthylène et utilisés dans des équipements électroniques.
Ces condensateurs ont potentiellement des “propriétés autocicatrisantes” selon les conditions d’utilisation. Ils sont principalement destinés aux applications dont la composante de courant alternatif est négligeable par rapport à la tension assignée. Deux classes de performance de condensateurs sont couvertes: la Classe 1 pour des applications longue durée et la Classe 2 pour une application courante.
Les condensateurs d’antiparasitage et les condensateurs fixes pour courant continu à diélectrique en film de téréphtalate de polyéthylène métallisé pour montage en surface n’en font pas partie, mais sont respectivement couverts par l’IEC 60384-14 et l’IEC 60384-19.
L’objet du présent document est de prescrire des valeurs assignées et des caractéristiques préférentielles et de choisir 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 sévérités d’essai et les exigences prescrites dans les spécifications particulières faisant référence à la présente spécification intermédiaire sont d’un niveau supérieur ou égal à celui de la présente spécification intermédiaire, car des niveaux de performance supérieurs ne sont pas autorisés.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente:
a) révision de toutes les parties du document en s’appuyant sur les directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2:2018, et harmonisation avec d’autres types de documents similaires;
b) organisation de la structure du document afin de suivre la nouvelle structure de spécification intermédiaire décidée par le TC 40;
c) révision des tableaux et de l’Article 5 pour éviter les répétitions et les contradictions.

FIXED CAPACITORS FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –

Part 2: Sectional specification – Fixed metallized
polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric DC capacitors

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.
International Standard IEC 60384-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 40:
Capacitors and resistors for electronic equipment.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2011. 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 2:2018 and
harmonization with other similar kinds of documents;
b) the document structure has been organized to follow the new sectional specification
structure decided by TC 40;
c) revision of tables and Clause 5 so as to prevent duplications and contradictions.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

FIXED CAPACITORS FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –

Part 2: Sectional specification – Fixed metallized
polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric DC capacitors



1 Scope
This part of IEC 60384 applies to fixed capacitors for direct current, with metallized electrodes
and polyethylene-terephthalate dielectric for use in electronic equipment.
These capacitors have a possibility of "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. Two performance grades of capacitors are covered: grade 1 for long-life
application and grade 2 for general application.
Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression and surface mount fixed metallized
polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric DC capacitors are not included, but are covered by
IEC 60384-14 and IEC 60384-19, respectively.
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 level, because lower performance levels are
not permitted.
