FIXED CAPACITORS FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –

Part 2: Sectional specification – Fixed metallized polyethylene
terephthalate film dielectric d.c. 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 fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2005 and contains the
following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition.
– Table 1, Sampling plan together with numbers of permissible non-conformance for
qualification approval test, has been adjusted.
– Table 3, Lot-by-lot inspection, has been changed, highlighting assessment level EZ only.
– Table 4, Periodic inspection, has been changed, highlighting assessment level EZ only.
– The preferred values of rated voltages have been updated in conformance with the basic
series of preferred values R5 and R10 given in ISO 3.

FIXED CAPACITORS FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –

Part 2: Sectional specification – Fixed metallized polyethylene
terephthalate film dielectric d.c. capacitors



1 General
1.1 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 may have “self-healing properties” depending on conditions of use. They are
primarily intended for applications where the a.c. 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 d.c. capacitors are not included, but are covered by
IEC 60384-14 and IEC 60384-19 respectively.
1.2 Object
The object of this standard 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 should be of equal or higher performance level, because lower performance
levels are not permitted.
1.3 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
