Application of fixed capacitors in electronic equipment - Part 1: Aluminium electrolytic capacitors IEC TR 63362-1:2022 ED1

Publication date:   Feb 18, 2022

Scope

IEC TR 63362-1:2022(E) establishes guidelines for the application and use of aluminium electrolytic capacitors 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 an exception in the capacitor field because of the components’ close interaction of physics and chemistry. Therefore, aluminium electrolytic capacitors show, in various aspects, a technical behaviour unaccustomed to the user. That could easily lead to misapplications and even to endangering of persons and goods. The aim of this document is to minimize these risks by providing detailed information on the specific peculiarities of the component.
This first edition cancels and replaces CLC/TR 50454 published in 2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
Complete technical revision, details of cleaning processes and failure modes added.
Inclusion of parts of JEITA RCR 2367D.
