ECIA EIA-60384-13 PDF

This part of IEC 60384 applies to fixed direct current capacitors, using as dielectric a polypropylene film with electrodes of thin metal foils. The capacitors covered by this standard are intended for use in electronic equipment.

Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by IEC 60384-14.

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 are of at least equal or higher performance level, because lower performance levels are not permitted.
