This part of IEC 60384 applies to fixed tantalum electrolytic surface mount capacitors with conductive polymer solid electrolyte primarily intended for d.c. applications for use in electronic equipment.
Fixed tantalum electrolytic surface mount capacitors with solid (MnO 2 ) electrolyte are not included but are covered by IEC 60384-3.
These capacitors are primarily intended for use in electronic equipment to be mounted directly on substrates for hybrid circuits or to printed boards.
Capacitors for special-purpose applications may need additional requirements.
