What is BS EN 60384-24-1 – Blank detail specification for fixed capacitors about?
BS EN 60384-24-1 is an international standard that focuses on aspects of fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment.
BS EN 60384-24-1 provides a blank detailed specification for fixed capacitors used in electronic equipment with conductive polymer solid electrolyte assessment level EZ.
BS EN 60384-24-1 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
Who is BS EN 60384-24-1 – Blank detail specification for fixed capacitors for?
BS EN 60384-24-1 on fixed capacitors for electronic equipment and electrolytic capacitors with conductive polymer solid electrolytes is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of capacitors   
- Regulatory authorities
- Test providers for capacitors 
- Quality assurance authorities 
Why should you use BS EN 60384-24-1– Blank detail specification for fixed 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 60384-24-1 presents you with the procedure to create a blank detail specification for surface mount fixed tantalum electrolytic capacitor with conductive polymer solid electrolyte, for assessment level EZ. It helps in producing a product specification for fixed capacitors that are used in electronic equipment.
BS EN 60384-24-1 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)
- Outline drawing with main dimensions which are of importance for interchangeability and/or reference to the national or international documents for outlines. Alternatively, this drawing may be given in an annex to the detailed specification
- Application or group of applications covered and/or assessment level
- Reference data on the most important properties, to allow comparison between the various capacitor types
