EIA 60384-15-2014

This standard applies to polar and bipolar tantalum electrolyte
capacitors with solid and non-solid electrolyte for use in
electronic equipment.

It comprises capacitors for long-life applications and
capacitors for general-purpose applications. Capacitors for special
purpose application may need additional requirements.

This standard covers three basic sub-families, namely:

Sub-family 1: Fixed non-solid electrolyte tantalum capacitors
with foil electrode.

1A: Plain foil electrode.

1B: Etched foil electrode.

Sub-family 2: Fixed non-solid electrolyte tantalum capacitors
with porous anode.

Sub-family 3: Fixed solid electrolyte tantalum capacitors with
porous anode.

Object

The object of this standard is to prescribe preferred ratings
and characteristics and to select from I E C Publication 384-1
(1982), the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and
measuring methods and to give general performance requirements for
this type of capacitor. Test severities and requirements prescribed
in detail specifications referring to this sectional specification
shall be of equal or higher performance level, because lower
performance levels are not permitted.
