IEC 60384-19:2006 PDF Download

IEC 60384-19:2006 is a standard that specifies the requirements for fixed surface mount capacitors used in electronic equipment. These capacitors are designed specifically for direct current applications and feature a polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric and metallized electrodes. They are intended to be mounted directly onto substrates for hybrid circuits or printed boards, with either metallized connecting pads or soldering strips.

One important characteristic of these capacitors is their self-healing properties, which allow them to recover from minor electrical breakdowns. However, it is important to note that their performance in this regard may vary depending on the conditions of use. These capacitors are primarily intended for applications where the alternating current component is small in comparison to the rated voltage.

This second edition of the standard, published in 2006, supersedes the first edition from 1993. It includes minor revisions related to tables, figures, and references. The standard is available in both a bilingual version (2012-03) and a monolingual English version (2006-01).
