What is BS EN 60384-23-1 - Fixed dielectric DC capacitors about?
BS EN 60384-23-1 is a part of an international standard, that deals with the specifications for fixed capacitors.
BS EN 60384-23-1 provides a blank detail specification for fixed surface-mount metallized polyethene naphthalate film dielectric DC capacitors, used in electronic equipment, for assessment level EZ.
BS EN 60384-23-1 describes the process of identification of the detailed specification as:
- The "International Electrotechnical Commission" or the National Standards Organization under whose authority the detailed specification is drafted
- The IEC or National Standards number of the detail specification, date of issue, and any further information required by the national system
- The number and issue number of the IEC or national generic specification The IEC number of the blank detail specification

Why should you use BS EN 60384-23-1 - Fixed dielectric DC capacitors?
A blank detail specification is a supplementary document to the sectional specification and contains requirements for style and layout and minimum content of detail specifications.
BS EN 60384-23-1 presents you with the procedure to create a blank detail specification for fixed surface mount metallized polyethene naphthalate film dielectric DC capacitors, used in electronic equipment, for assessment level EZ. It helps in producing a product specification for fixed capacitors that are used in electronic equipment.
BS EN 60384-23-1 sets out a framework for the identification of the capacitor as:
- A short description of the type of capacitor
- Information on typical construction (when applicable)
- When the capacitor is not designed for use in printed-board applications, this shall be clearly stated in the detailed specification in this position
- Outline drawing with main dimensions which are of importance for interchangeability and reference to the national or international documents for outlines. Alternatively, this drawing may be given in an annexe to the detailed specification
- Application or group of applications covered and assessment level
