IEC 60384-8:2024 is applicable to fixed capacitors of ceramic dielectric with a defined temperature coefficient (dielectric Class 1), intended for use in electronic equipment, including leadless capacitors but excluding fixed surface mount multilayer capacitors of ceramic dielectric, which are covered by IEC 60384-21 (Class 1). Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by IEC 60384-14. The object of this document is to specify preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC 60384-1:2021, the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and to give general performance requirements for this type of capacitor. Test severities and requirements specified in detail specifications referring to this document provide specific test severities and requirements of an equal or higher performance level. Further information on the conception of generic, sectional and detail specifications can be found in the Introduction of IEC 60384-1:2021.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The document has been completely restructured to comply with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 and to make it more useable; tables, figures and references have been revised accordingly. Annex X contains all cross-references of changes in clause/subclause numbers.
b) The terms have been replaced by the letter symbols in Table 3.
c) Code of temperature coefficient and tolerance of C0G, U2J have been added in Table 4, Table 6, Table 8, Table 9, Table 11, Table 13, Table 16 and Annex B.
d) Annex B has been changed from informative to normative.
e) Clause C.5 (Test schedule for quality conformance inspection) has been newly added to withdraw the blank detail specification: IEC 60384-8-1.
