Scope

IEC 60384-18:2007 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 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 second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993 and its Amendment 1 (1998). This edition constitutes a minor revision related to tables, figures and references.
