IEC 60384-23 Ed. 1.0 en:2005

is applicable to fixed surface mount capacitors for direct current, with metallized electrodes and polyethylene naphthalate dielectric for use in electronic equipment. These capacitors have metallized connecting pads or soldering strips and are intended to be mounted directly onto substrates for hybrid circuits or onto printed boards. These capacitors may have “self healing properties” depending on conditions of use. They are primarily intended for applications where the AC component is small with respect to the rated voltage.
