BS EN 62490-2:2010

• 31.060.01 Capacitors in general

This part of IEC 62490 provides the ESL measuring method for the surface mount capacitors for use in electronic equipment.

The ESL measurement method can be applicable to the surface mount capacitors with the following properties, but not limited to these:

1. capacitance range: 10 μF to 1 000 μF;

2. size: L × W = 3,2 mm × 1,6 mm to 7,3 mm × 4,3 mm, H = 4,0 mm;

3. ESL range: 5 nH or less.

NOTE The surface mount capacitors in this document are limited to capacitors with lead frame or with thin coated terminals, see Figure 1. The scope of this document does not include capacitors with face down terminals, see Figure 2.
