These capacitors may have “self-healing properties“ depending on conditions of use. They are primarily intended for applications where the a.c. component is small with respect to the rated voltage. Two performance grades of capacitors are covered, Grade 1 for long-life application and Grade 2 for general application. Capacitors for electromagnetic interference and connection to the supply mains are not included but are covered by IEC 60384-14. 1.2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

Detail specifications shall not specify requirements inferior to those of the generic, sectional or blank detail specification. When more severe requirements are included, they shall be listed in 1.9 of the detail specification and indicated in the test schedules, for example, by an asterisk. NOTE The information given in 1.3.1 may, for convenience, be presented in tabular form. The following information shall be given in each detail specification and the values quoted shall preferably be selected from those given in the appropriate clause of this sectional specification. 1.3.1 Outline drawing and dimensions There shall be an illustration of the capacitor as an aid to easy recognition and for comparison of the capacitor with others. Dimensions and their associated tolerances, which affect interchangeability and mounting, shall be given in the detail specification. All dimensions shall be stated in millimetres. Normally, the numerical values shall be given for the length of the body, the width and height of the body and the wire spacing, or, for cylindrical types, the body diameter and the length and diameter of the terminations. When necessary, for example, when a number of items (capacitance values/voltage ranges) are covered by a detail specification, the dimensions and their associated tolerances shall be placed in a table below the drawing. When the configuration is other than described above, the detail specification shall state such dimensional information as will adequately describe the capacitor. When the capacitor is not designed for use on printed boards, this shall be clearly stated in the detail specification. 1.3.1.1 Mounting The detail specification shall specify the method of mounting to be applied for normal use and for the application of the vibration and the bump or shock tests. The capacitors shall be mounted by their normal means. The design of the capacitor may be such that special mounting fixtures are required in its use. In this case, the detail specification shall describe the mounting fixtures and they shall be used in the application of the vibration and bump or shock tests. 1.3.2 Ratings and characteristics The ratings and characteristics shall be in accordance with the relevant clauses of this specification, together with the following. 1.3.2.1 Rated capacitance range See 2.2.1. NOTE When products approved to the detail specification have different ranges, the following statement should be added: “The range of capacitance values available in each voltage range is given in IEC QC 001005.”. 1.3.2.2 Particular characteristics Additional characteristics may be listed, when they are considered necessary, to specify adequately the component for design and application purposes.

Deviations from 1.5 of this specification shall be specifically stated. 1.4 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions of IEC 60384-1, as well as the following, apply. 1.4.1 performance grade 1 capacitors (long-life) capacitors for long-life applications with stringent requirements for the electrical parameters 1.4.2 performance grade 2 capacitors (general purpose) capacitors for general application where the stringent requirements for Grade 1 capacitors are not necessary 1.4.3 rated voltage maximum d.c. voltage which may be applied continuously to a capacitor at the rated temperature NOTE The sum of the d.c. voltage and the peak a.c. voltage applied to the capacitor should not exceed the rated voltage. The value of the peak a.c. voltage should not exceed the following percentages of the rated voltage at the frequencies stated and should not be greater than 280 V: 50 Hz : 20 % 100 Hz : 15 % 1 000 Hz : 3 % 10 000 Hz : 1 % unless otherwise specified in the detail specification. 1.5 Marking See 2.4 of IEC 60384-1 with the following details. 1.5.1 The information given in the marking is normally selected from the following list; the relative importance of each item is indicated by its position in the list: a) rated capacitance; b) rated voltage (d.c. voltage may be indicated by the symbol or ); c) tolerance on rated capacitance; d) category voltage; e) year and month (or week) of manufacture; f) manufacturer's name or trade mark; g) climatic category; h) manufacturer's type designation; i) reference to the detail specification.
