BS EN 60384-8:2015 pdf download – Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment Part 8: Sectional specification: Fixed capacitors of ceramic dielectric, Class 1 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 . 4.2 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 preferably be stated in millimetres, however when the original dimensions are given in inches, the converted metric dimensions in millimetres shall be added. 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 capacitors. When the capacitor is not designed for use on printed boards, this shall be clearly stated in the detail specification. 1 . 4.3 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 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 the bump or shock tests. 1 . 4.4 Ratings and characteristics 1 . 4.4.1 General The ratings and characteristics shall be in accordance with the relevant clauses of this standard, together with the following: 1 . 4.4.2 Nominal capacitance range See 2.2.4.1 . 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 the register of approvals”. 1 . 4.4.3 Particular characteristics Additional characteristics may be listed, when they are...
