Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment - Part 23: Sectional specification - Fixed metallized polyethylene naphthalate film dielectric surface mount DC capacitors

IEC 60384-23:2023 is available as IEC 60384-23:2023 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60384-23:2023 is applicable to fixed surface mount capacitors for direct current, with metallized electrodes and polyethylene naphthalate dielectric for use in electronic equipment. These capacitors have metallized connecting pads or soldering strips and are intended to be mounted directly onto printed boards or onto substrates for hybrid circuits. These capacitors can have "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. This part of IEC 60384 specifies preferred ratings and characteristics, selects from IEC 60384？1:2021 the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and gives general performance requirements for this type of capacitor. Test severities and requirements specified in detail specifications referring to this sectional specification are of an equal or higher performance level. Lower performance levels are not permitted. C
