IEC 60384-16:20 19适用于电子设备中使用的带有金属化电极和聚丙烯电介质的固定电容器。根据使用条件，这些电容器可以具有“自愈特性”。它们主要用于直流电压。 不包括用于交流电压和脉冲应用的电容器，但由IEC 60384-17涵盖。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。用于电击危险保护的电容器（IEC 60065涵盖）以及荧光灯和电机电容器也不包括在内。

IEC 60384-16:2019 applies to fixed capacitors with metallized electrodes and poly-propylene dielectric for use in electronic equipment. These capacitors can 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 IEC 60384-17. Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by IEC 60384-14. Capacitors for electrical shock hazard protection (covered by IEC 60065) and fluorescent lamp and motor capacitors are also excluded.
