IEC 60384-13:20 20规定了首选的额定值和特性，从IEC 60384-1:20 16中选择了适当的质量评估程序、测试和测量方法，并给出了此类电容器的一般性能要求。参考本部分规范的详细规范中规定的试验严重性和要求具有相同或更高的性能水平。不允许较低的性能水平。 IEC 60384的这一部分适用于固定直流电容器，使用带有薄金属箔电极的聚丙烯薄膜作为电介质。本文件涵盖的电容器旨在用于电子设备。 不包括用于电磁干扰抑制的电容器，但IEC 60384-14涵盖了这些电容器。 与上一版相比，此版本包括以下重大技术变更:a)根据ISO/IEC指令第2部分:2018修订文件的所有部分，并与其他类似类型的文件协调一致； b)文件结构的组织遵循TC 40中确定的新的部分规范结构； c)修订表格和第5条，以防止重复和矛盾。

IEC 60384-13:2020 specifies preferred ratings and characteristics, selects from IEC 60384-1:2016 the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods, and gives general performance requirements for this type of capacitor. Test severities and requirements specified in detail specifications referring to this sectional specification are of an equal or higher performance level. Lower performance levels are not permitted.
This part of IEC 60384 applies to fixed direct current capacitors, using as dielectric a polypropylene film with electrodes of thin metal foils. The capacitors covered by this document are intended for use in electronic equipment.
Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by IEC 60384-14.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) revision of all parts of the document based on the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2018, and harmonization with other similar kinds of documents;
b) the document structure has been organized to follow new sectional specification structure decided in TC 40;
c) revised tables and Clause 5 so as to prevent duplications and contradictions.
