IEC 60384-22:2024 CMV

IEC 60384-22:2024 CMV contains both the official standard and its commented version. The commented version provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between IEC 60384-22:2024 edition 4.0 and the previous IEC 60384-22:2019 edition 3.0. Furthermore, comments from IEC TC 40 experts are provided to explain the reasons of the most relevant changes, or to clarify any part of the content.

IEC 60384-22:2024 is applicable to fixed unencapsulated surface mount multilayer capacitors of ceramic dielectric, Class 2, for use in electronic equipment. These capacitors have metallized connecting pads or soldering strips and are intended to be mounted on printed boards, or directly onto substrates for hybrid circuits.
Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included but are covered by IEC 60384-14. The object of this document is to specify preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC 60384-1:2021 the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and to give general performance requirements for this type of capacitor. Test severities and requirements specified in detail specifications referring to this sectional specification provide specific test severities and requirements of an equal or higher performance level. Further information on the conception of generic, sectional and detail specifications can be found in the Introduction of IEC 60384-1:2021.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The document has been completely restructured to comply with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 and to make it more useable; tables, figures and references have been revised accordingly.
b) The requirements of reference temperature 25 °C has been added in Table 5, Table 9, Table 10, Table 12, Table 14 and Table 17.
c) The table of temperature characteristics of capacitance for the reference temperature 25 °C have been added in Table C.1, Table C.2 and Table C.3.
d) The requirement in 5.5.2 (visual examination) has been repeated in 5.9.3, 5.10.6, 5.11.4, 5.12.6, 5.13.8, 5.14.6 and 5.15.6.
e) The deflection D in the very robust designs has been added in 5.9.1.
f) Annex C has been changed informative into normative.
g) Clause D.5 (Test schedule for quality conformance inspection) has been newly added to withdraw the blank detail specification: IEC 60384-22-1.
