This Standard is a sectional specification associated with the generic specification JIS C 5101-1 and applies to fixed metallized polypropylene film dielectric d.c. capacitors for use in electronic equipment (hereafter referred to as "capacitors"). It covers fixed capacitors with metallized electrodes and polypropylene dielectric for use in electronic equipment.
These capacitors may have "self-healing properties" depending on conditions of use. They are mainly intended for use with direct voltage. Capacitors for alternating voltage and pulse applications are not included, but are covered by JIS C 5101-17.
The maximum power to be applied is 500 var at 50 Hz and the maximum peak voltage is 2 500 V. Two performance grades of capacitors are covered, Grade 1 for long-life application and Grade 2 for general application.
Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by JIS C 5101-14.
Capacitors for electrical shock hazard protection (covered by JIS C 6065) and fluorescent lamp and motor capacitors (covered by IEC technical committee 33, and IEC technical committee 34).
NOTE 1 This Standard specifies characteristics of capacitors, but requirements related to the characteristics indicate the targeted values. It is not designed to be used for conducting the conformity assessment by itself.
NOTE 2 The International Standard corresponding to this Standard is as follows.
IEC 60384-16 : 2005 Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment— Part 16: Sectional specification: Fixed metallized polypropylene film dielectric d.c. capacitors (IDT)
In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/IEC Guide 21.
