BS PD IEC TR 63362-1 – Application of fixed capacitors in electronic equipment – Part 1: Aluminium electrolytic capacitors

This document establishes guidelines for the application and use of aluminium electrolyticcapacitors in electronic equipment.

The information given in this document applies to capacitors with non-solid electrolyte but can,in its appropriate clauses, apply to capacitors with solid electrolyte as well.

Electrolytic capacitors in general – and aluminium electrolytic capacitors in particular – are anexception in the capacitor field because of the components’ close interaction of physics andchemistry. Therefore, aluminium electrolytic capacitors show, in various aspects, a technicalbehaviour unaccustomed to the user. That could easily lead to misapplications and even toendangering of persons and goods. The aim of this document is to minimize these risks byproviding detailed information on the specific peculiarities of the component.
