BS EN IEC 60384-24:2021

What is BS EN IEC 60384‑24 about?  

BS EN IEC 60384‑24 is the 24th part of Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment in multi-series. 

BS EN IEC 60384‑24 applies to fixed tantalum electrolytic surface mount capacitors with conductive polymer solid electrolyte, which is primarily intended for DC applications for use in electronic equipment. 

Note: Fixed tantalum electrolytic surface mount capacitors with solid (MnO2) electrolyte are not included but are covered by IEC 60384-3. 

Who is BS EN IEC 60384‑24 for? 

BS EN IEC 60384‑24 on Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment is useful for: 

• Manufacturers of electronic equipment 
• Sensor and monitoring device manufacturer 
• Electricians 

Why should you use BS EN IEC 60384‑24? 

Poorly manufactured and untested capacitors can affect the performance of any electronic device it is implemented in.  

BS EN IEC 60384‑24 will help you to verify if the materials, design, construction, and physical dimensions of capacitors are appropriate or not.  BS EN IEC 60384‑2 helps to create a standardized process for the capacitor production using similar processes and materials, though they may be different in size and value. 

BS EN IEC 60384‑24 is useful for establishing standardization of quality and characteristics in fixed capacitors so that there is less discrepancies between them. With improved and consistent quality of products, users will be able to expand to different markets.  

What’s changed since the last update?  

BS EN IEC 60384‑24:2021 supersedes BS EN 60384‑24:2015. BS EN IEC 60384‑24:2021 includes some technical changes with respect to  BS EN 60384‑24:2015. These include: 

• Revision of the structure in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2018, to the extent practicable, and harmonization between other similar kinds of documents 
• In addition, Clause 5 and all the tables have been reviewed in order to prevent duplications and contradictions
