IEC 60384-18 Ed. 2.0 en:2007

Applies to fixed aluminium electrolytic surface mount capacitors with solid (MnO2) and non-solid electrolyte primarily intended for d.c. applications for use in electronic equipment. Prescribes preferred ratings and characteristics, selects from IEC 6IEC 60384-1 the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and gives general performance requirements for this type of capacitor. Test severities and requirements prescribed in detail specifications referring to this sectional specification should be of equal or higher performance level, because lower performance levels are not permitted.
