What is BS EN IEC 60384‑2 about?
BS EN IEC 60384‑2 is the second part of Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment in multi-series.
BS EN IEC 60384‑2 applies to fixed capacitors for direct current, with metallized electrodes and polyethylene-terephthalate dielectric for use in electronic equipment.
Note: Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression and surface mount fixed metallized polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric DC capacitors are not included but are covered by IEC 60384-14 and IEC 60384-19, respectively.
Who is BS EN IEC 60384‑2 for?
BS EN IEC 60384‑2 on Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment is useful for:
- Manufacturers of electronic devices
- Automotive parts manufacturer
- Sensor and monitoring device manufacturer
- Electricians
Why should you use BS EN IEC 60384‑2?
BS EN IEC 60384‑2 will help you in ensuring insulation resistance and soldering heat in fixed capacitors. This BS EN IEC 60384‑2 helps to design the components adequately by specifying the rating and characteristics of polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric DC capacitors.
BS EN IEC 60384‑2 helps to create standardized processes and materials, though they may be different in size and value. By using BS EN IEC 60384‑2 the quality of polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric DC capacitors will increase and help in loading high voltage capacity. Standardized processes and materials means better access to markets and improved performance of devices.
BS EN IEC 60384‑2 helps you in producing better quality capacitors and also helps in evaluating the performance of fixed metallized polyethylene-terephthalate film dielectric DC capacitors.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN IEC 60384‑2:2021 supersedes BS EN 60384‑2:2012. BS EN IEC 60384‑2:2021 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 60384‑2:2012. These include:
- Revision of all parts of the document based on the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2018 and harmonization with other similar kinds of documents
- The document structure has been organized to follow the new sectional specification structure decided by TC 40
- Revision of tables and Clause 5 so as to prevent duplications and contradictions
