DANSK DSF/PREN IEC 60384-8 [ Draft ]

This part of IEC 60384 is applicable to fixed capacitors of ceramic dielectric with a defined temperature coefficient (dielectric Class 1), intended for use in electronic equipment, including leadless capacitors but excluding fixed surface mount multilayer capacitors of ceramic dielectric, which are covered by IEC 60384-21 (Class 1). Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by IEC 60384-14. The object of this standard is to specify preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC 60384-1:2021, the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and to give general performance requirements for this type of capacitor. Test severities and requirements specified in detail specifications referring to this sectional specification provide specific test severities and requirements of an equal or higher performance level. For further information on the conception of generic, sectional and detail specifications, see IEC 60384-1:2021, INTRODUCTION.
