IEC 60384-18 Ed. 3.0 b – Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment – Part 18: Sectional specification – Fixed aluminium electrolytic surface mount capacitors with solid (MnO₂) and non-solid electrolyte

IEC 60384-18:2016 applies to fixed aluminium electrolytic surface mount capacitors with solid (MnO₂) and non-solid electrolyte primarily intended for d.c. applications for use in electronic equipment. It prescribes preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC 60384-1:2016 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 should be of equal or higher performance level, because lower performance levels are not permitted. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Revision of the structure in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2011 (sixth edition) to the extent practicable, and harmonization between other similar kinds of documents.
b) In addition, Clause 4 and all the tables have been reviewed in order to prevent duplications and contradictions.
