The information given in 1.4.2 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.

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

The detail specification must include dimensions and their corresponding tolerances, which are crucial for ensuring interchangeability and proper mounting It is recommended that all dimensions be expressed in millimetres; however, if the original measurements are in inches, the equivalent metric dimensions in millimetres should also be provided.

Numerical values for the body length, width, height, and wire spacing must be provided, or for cylindrical types, the body diameter along with the length and diameter of the terminations When detailing multiple items, such as capacitance values or voltage ranges, dimensions and their associated tolerances should be organized in a table beneath the drawing.

The detail specification must include dimensional information that adequately describes the capacitors when the configuration differs from the standard Additionally, if the capacitor is not intended for use on printed boards, this should be explicitly mentioned in the specification.

Mounting

The detailed specification must outline the mounting methods for standard use, as well as for vibration and shock testing applications If the capacitor design necessitates special mounting fixtures, the specification should include a description of these fixtures, which are essential for conducting vibration and bump or shock tests.

Ratings and characteristics

The ratings and characteristics shall be in accordance with the relevant clauses of this standard, together with the following:

Products that meet the detailed specifications may have varying ranges It is important to include the statement: “The range of capacitance values available in each voltage range is provided in the register of approvals.”

Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the applicable terms and definitions of IEC 60384-1 as well as the following apply

Class 1 fixed capacitors with ceramic dielectric are specifically engineered for resonant circuit applications that demand low losses and high capacitance stability They are ideal for situations where a precisely defined temperature coefficient is necessary, such as compensating for temperature effects within the circuit.

Note 1 to entry: The ceramic dielectric is defined by its nominal temperature coefficient (α)

1.5.2 subclass for a given nominal temperature coefficient; it is defined by the tolerance on the temperature coefficient (see Table 2)

The nominal temperature coefficient value and its tolerance apply to the temperature range of +20 °C to +85 °C However, due to the non-linear nature of TC curves in practice, it is essential to establish limiting capacitance deviations (∆C/C) for other temperatures, as detailed in Table 3 This information is also visually represented in Figures A.1 to A.15.

These figures allow users to estimate the value and tolerance of the incremental temperature coefficient, represented as \$\frac{1}{C} \times \left(\frac{dC}{dT}\right)_{T}\$, at a specific temperature \$T\$ Although this quantity is not explicitly measured during the test, it provides valuable insights.

U R maximum d.c voltage which may be applied continuously to the terminations of a capacitor at the rated temperature

Note 1 to entry: Maximum d.c voltage is the sum of the d.c voltage and peak a.c voltage or peak pulse voltage applied to the capacitor

Marking

General

See IEC 60384-1:2008, 2.4, with the following details

The marking information typically includes several key items, prioritized by their significance: a) nominal capacitance; b) rated voltage, which may be denoted by the symbol or ; c) tolerance on nominal capacitance; d) temperature coefficient and, if space allows, its tolerance in code (refer to Table 2); e) the year and month (or week) of manufacture; f) the manufacturer's name or trademark; g) climatic category; h) manufacturer's type designation; and i) a reference to the detail specification.

Information required under b) and d) may be given in code form under manufacturer's, or national, type or style designation.

Marking for code of temperature coefficient

The temperature coefficient coding is detailed in Table 2, which indicates that color codes can be represented by spots, stripes, or rings Additionally, when two colors are needed for temperature coefficients, the second color can be derived from the body color or typographical markings.

Marking on the body

The capacitor must be distinctly labeled with items a), b), and c) from section 1.6.1, along with as many additional relevant items as deemed necessary It is essential to prevent any duplication of information in the capacitor's markings.

Marking of the packaging

The packaging containing the capacitor(s) shall be clearly marked with all the information listed in 1.6.1.

Additional marking

Any additional marking shall be so applied that no confusion can arise

Preferred characteristics

Preferred climatic categories only shall be given in the preferred characteristics

The capacitors covered by this standard are classified into climatic categories according to the general rules given in IEC 60068-1:2013, Annex A

The lower and upper category temperatures and the duration of the damp heat, steady state test shall be chosen from the following:

− duration of the damp heat, steady state test (40 °C, 93% RH): 4, 10, 21 and 56 days

The severities for the cold and dry heat tests are the lower and upper category temperatures respectively.

Preferred values of ratings

Rated temperature

For capacitors covered by this standard, the rated temperature is equal to the upper category temperature.

Rated voltage (U R)

The preferred values of rated voltage are: 25, 40, 63, 100, 160, 250, 400, 630, 1 000, 1 600,

2 500, 4 000 and 6 300 V These values conform to the basic series of preferred values R5 given in ISO 3 If other values are needed they shall be chosen from the R10 series

The total voltage applied to the capacitor, which includes both the direct current (d.c.) voltage and the peak alternating current (a.c.) voltage, must remain within the rated voltage limit Additionally, the peak a.c voltage should not surpass the value established by the allowable reactive power.

Category voltage (U C)

Since the rated temperature is defined as the upper category temperature, the category voltage is equal to the rated voltage, as defined in IEC 60384-1:2008, 2.2.5.

Preferred values of nominal capacitance and associated tolerance

2.2.4.1 Preferred values of rated capacitance

Nominal capacitance values shall be taken from the E6, E12 and E24 series given in IEC 60063 preferably

2.2.4.2 Preferred tolerances on nominal capacitance

Table 1 denotes the preferred values of tolerance on nominal capacitance

Temperature coefficient (α)

2.2.5.1 Nominal temperature coefficient and tolerance

Table 2 shows the preferred nominal temperature coefficients and the associated tolerances, expressed in parts per million per Kelvin (10 -6 /K), and the corresponding subclasses and codes

The specification must outline the minimum capacitance value for each temperature coefficient, ensuring that the specified tolerance can be verified based on the accuracy of the designated capacitance measurement methods.

For capacitance values below the specified minimums, the detail specification must include a multiplying factor for the tolerance on α and outline the allowable capacitance variations at both the lower and upper category temperatures Additionally, if necessary, the specification should indicate any special measurement methods required.

2.2.5.2 Limits of variation of capacitance

Figures A.1 to A.15 show the limits of variation of capacitance with temperature for the temperature coefficients and subclasses listed in Table 3

Table 2 – Nominal temperature coefficient and tolerances

Subclass Letter code Colour code for temperature coefficient α Tolerance

NOTE 1 Preferred temperature coefficient values (α) are underlined

NOTE 2 α values +33 × 10 -6 /K and -47 × 10 –6 /K are also obtained on request

NOTE 3 The nominal temperature coefficients and their tolerances are defined using the capacitance change between the temperatures 20 °C and 85 °C

NOTE 4 A capacitor with a temperature coefficient of 0 × 10 –6 /K and a tolerance on temperature coefficient of ±30 × 10 –6 /K is designed as a CG capacitor (subclass 1B) a Those temperature coefficient values are not subject to inspection, since no limits for relative capacitance variation are specified in Table 3

Table 3 illustrates the relationship between temperature coefficients and tolerance, detailing the permissible relative variation in capacitance in parts per 1,000 between 20 °C and various temperatures It specifies lower category temperatures ranging from -55 °C to +70 °C and upper category temperatures extending from +85 °C to +125 °C, with temperature coefficients of α = 10^{-6}/K and tolerances of ±15 (F) and ±30 (G).

The temperature coefficients indicate the permissible relative variation in capacitance per 1,000 parts between 20 °C and various temperatures For lower category temperatures, the coefficients are as follows: at -55 °C, the tolerance is ±60 (H); at -40 °C, ±120 (J); at -25 °C, ±250 (K); and at -10 °C, ±250 (K) For upper category temperatures, the coefficients are ±60 (H) at +70 °C, ±120 (J) at +85 °C, ±250 (K) at +100 °C, and ±250 (K) at +125 °C The values for relative variation in capacitance are 70.5/99.7 at -55 °C, 66.0/105 at -40 °C, 56.3/117 at -25 °C, 56.4/79.8 at -10 °C, 52.8/84.1 at +70 °C, 45.0/93.7 at +85 °C, 42.3/59.8 at +100 °C, and 39.6/63.1 at +125 °C.

The temperature coefficient values are crucial for understanding capacitance variations across different temperature ranges The limits for the temperature coefficient are calculated from 20 °C to the upper category temperature using nominal values and their tolerances Additionally, capacitance deviation at lower category temperatures is determined using specific formulas The upper and lower permissible relative variations in capacitance under varying temperature conditions are defined, ensuring accurate performance across specified temperature ranges These calculations are essential for maintaining device reliability and functionality in diverse environments.

Primary stage of manufacture

In the manufacturing process of single layer capacitors, the initial step involves metallizing the dielectric to create the electrode Conversely, for multilayer capacitors, the process begins with the simultaneous firing of the dielectric-electrode assembly.

Structurally similar components

Capacitors, considered as being structurally similar, are capacitors produced with similar processes and materials, though they may be of different case sizes and values.

Certified test records of released lots

According to IEC 60384-1:2008, Q.9, the necessary information must be provided in the detail specification and upon request by the purchaser Following the endurance test, the key parameters that require variable information include capacitance change, tan δ, and insulation resistance.

Qualification approval

General

The procedures for qualification approval testing are given in IEC 60384-1:2008, Q.5.

The qualification approval testing schedule, based on lot-by-lot and periodic tests, is outlined in section 3.5 Additionally, the procedure for utilizing a fixed sample size schedule can be found in sections 3.4.2 and 3.4.3.

Qualification approval on the basis of the fixed sample size procedure

The fixed sample size procedure outlined in IEC 60384-1:2008, Q.5.3 b) requires that the sample be representative of the range of capacitors for which approval is being sought, which may not necessarily encompass the entire range specified.

For the approval of a single temperature coefficient, the sample must include specimens with the lowest and highest voltages, as well as the corresponding lowest and highest capacitance values If there are more than four rated voltages, an intermediate voltage must also be tested Consequently, testing for approval requires either four or six capacitance/voltage combinations for each temperature coefficient In cases where the total range has fewer than four values, the testing must still meet the requirements for four values For approvals involving multiple temperature coefficients, refer to section 3.4.3.

Spare specimens are permitted as follows:

For non-conforming specimens due to incidents not caused by the manufacturer, two replacements can be used for six values, or three replacements for four values.

The numbers given in Group 0 assume that all groups are applicable If this is not so, the numbers may be reduced accordingly.

When new groups are added to the qualification approval test schedule, the number of specimens needed for Group 0 must be increased correspondingly to match the number required for the additional groups.

Table 4 gives the number of samples to be tested in each group or subgroup together with the number of permissible non-conformances for qualification approval tests.

Tests

The approval of capacitors outlined in one detail specification necessitates the completion of all tests listed in Table 4 and Table 5 It is essential that the tests within each group are conducted in the specified sequence.

The whole sample shall be subjected to the tests of Group 0 and then divided for the other groups

Non-conforming specimens found during the tests of Group 0 shall not be used for the other groups.

“One non-conforming item” is counted when a capacitor has not satisfied the whole or a part of the tests of a group

When seeking approval for multiple temperature coefficients simultaneously, tests for Groups 1 and 2 will be conducted on the smallest temperature coefficient, while tests for Groups 3 and 4 will be performed on each individual temperature coefficient.

Approval is determined based on individual temperature coefficients, following the permissible limits for non-conforming items outlined in Table 4 To calculate the total actual non-conforming items for temperature coefficients greater than the smallest, the non-conforming items from Group 1 and Group 2 for the smallest temperature coefficient are summed with those from Group 3 and Group 4 for the specific temperature coefficient in question.

The approval is granted when the number of non-conforming items is zero

Tables 4 and 5 outline the fixed sample size test schedule, with Table 4 detailing the sampling procedures and allowable non-conforming items for various tests Meanwhile, Table 5, in conjunction with the specifications in Clause 4, provides a comprehensive summary of test conditions and performance requirements, highlighting areas where specific choices must be made in the detailed specifications.

The conditions of test and performance requirements for the fixed sample size test schedule shall be identical to those prescribed in the detail specification for quality conformance inspection

Samples must accurately reflect the current production for the specified periods and should be categorized into high, medium, and low capacitance values In future periods, various voltage ratings and capacitance values will be tested to ensure comprehensive coverage of the entire range.

Test voltages specified in Tables 10 and 11 must be applied to the measuring points listed in Table 3 of IEC 60384-1:2008 This application should last for 1 minute during qualification approval testing and for 1 second during lot-by-lot quality conformance testing.

The capacitance shall be measured according to 4.3.1

Table 13 – Requirements α rated in 10 −6 /K Requirements a

The globule test method requirements will be outlined in the detailed specification If the solder bath and solder globule methods are unsuitable, the soldering iron test using size A soldering iron should be employed.

The terminations must be assessed for proper tinning, which is indicated by the solder's ability to flow freely and adequately wet the terminations For detailed procedures, refer to the specification regarding the wetting balance method.
