FIXED CAPACITORS FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

Part 14-1: Blank detail specification:


Fixed capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression
and connection to the supply mains –
Assessment level D

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard CEI 60384-14-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 40:
Capacitors and resistors for electronic equipment.

This second edition of CEI 60384-14-1 cancels and replaces the first edition published in
1993. It constitutes a technical revision. All changes that have been agreed upon can be
categorized as minor revisions.

The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

FDIS Report on voting


40/1553/FDIS 40/1587/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

It should be read in conjunction with IEC 60384-1 and IEC 60384-14.

This standard forms Part 14-1 of IEC 60384, which is published under the general title Fixed
capacitors for use in electronic equipment.

Part 1: Generic specification

Part 14 is composed as follows:

Part 14: Sectional specification – Fixed capacitors for electromagnetic interference


suppression and connection to the supply mains
Part 14-1: Blank detail specification – Fixed capacitors for electromagnetic interference
suppression and connection to the supply mains – Assessment level D
Part 14-2: Blank detail specification – Fixed capacitors for electromagnetic interference
suppression and connection to the supply mains – Safety tests only
Part 14-3: Blank detail specification – Fixed capacitors for electromagnetic interference
suppression and connection to the supply mains – Assessment level DZ
NOTE For the complete list of all the parts, see IEC 60384-14.

The QC number that appears on the front cover of this publication is the specification number in the
IEC Quality Assessment System for Electronic Components (IECQ).

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in
the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be

• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

A bilingual version of this standard may be issued at a later date.

Blank detail specification

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. In the
preparation of detail specifications, the content of 1.4 of the sectional specification shall be
taken into account.

Identification of the detail specification and of the component

The first page of the detail specification should have the layout recommended on the next
page of this blank detail specification. The numbers between brackets correspond to the
following information which shall be inserted at the position indicated.

[1] The name of the National Standards Organization under whose authority the detail
specification is published and, if applicable, the organization from which the detail
specification is available.
[2] The IECQ symbol and the number allotted to the detail specification by the IECQ
General Secretariat.
[3] The number and issue number of the IECQ generic or sectional specification as
relevant; also the national reference if different.
[4] If different from the IECQ number, the national number of the detail specification, date
of issue and any further information required by the national system, together with any
amendment numbers.
[5] A brief description of the component or range of components.
[6] Information on typical construction (when applicable).

For [5] and [6] the text to be given in the detail specification should be suitable for an entry in
the IECQ Register of Approvals.

[7] Outline drawing with main dimensions which are of importance for inter-changeability
and/or reference to the appropriate national or international documents for outlines.
Alternatively, the drawing may be given in an annex to the detail specification, but [7]
should always contain an illustration of the general outer appearance of the component.
[8] The level(s) of quality assessment covered by the detail specification, as appropriate.
[9] Reference data giving information on the most important properties of the component
which allow comparison between the various component types intended for the same or
similar applications.
