This part of IEC 60384 is applicable to fixed unencapsulated surface mount multilayer 
capacitors of ceramic dielectric, Class 2, for use in electronic equipment. These capacitors 
have metallized connecting pads or soldering strips and are intended to be mounted on 
printed boards, or directly onto substrates for hybrid circuits. 
Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by 
IEC 60384-14. 
The object of this document is to prescribe preferred ratings and characteristics and to select 
from IEC 60384-1 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 are of equal or higher performance levels; lower performance levels are not 
permitted.dition 3.0 2019-01 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD NORME INTERNATIONALE Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment – Part 22: Sectional specification – Fixed surface mount multilayer capacitors of ceramic dielectric, Class 2 Condensateurs fixes utilisés dans les équipements électroniques – Partie 22: Spécification intermédiaire – Condensateurs multicouches fixes à diélectriques en céramique pour montage en surface, de Classe 2 IEC 60384-22:2019
