Overview

EN 60738-1-3:2008 (CLC adoption of IEC 60738-1-3:2008) is a blank detail specification for thermistors described as directly heated positive step‑function temperature coefficient devices. The standard is a supplementary document to the generic specification IEC/EN 60738‑1 and defines required style, layout and minimum content for detail specifications covering inrush current applications at assessment level EZ. Detail specifications that do not follow these rules are not considered conformant with IEC/EN requirements.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope and purpose
    • Template for drafting national or manufacturer-specific detail specifications for PTC thermistors intended for inrush current control.
    • Meant to be read and used in conjunction with EN/IEC 60738‑1 (generic specification).
  • Identification and content structure
    • Required identification elements (issuing body, detail spec number/date, generic spec reference, device description, outline drawing, application/assessment level, reference properties).
  • General data
    • Mounting methods, dimensions (mm/in), coating/material/colour, terminations (solderability or alternative connections), flammability and solvent resistance, packaging details.
  • Electrical data / ratings
    • Template requires specification of parameters such as upper/lower category temperatures (UCT/LCT), operating temperature range at maximum voltage, maximum voltage, zero‑power resistance (series/parallel PTC), isolation/insulation resistance, minimum series impedance, peak‑to‑peak inrush current limits, residual current at maximum voltage.
  • Inspection and test schedules
    • Qualification approval and quality conformance inspection procedures referencing IEC 60738‑1.
    • Sampling plans, periodicity, severities and acceptance criteria; reference to IEC 60410 sampling methods.
    • Specific test-method references (e.g., solderability and solder heat per IEC 60068‑2‑58 where terminations are for soldering).
  • Documentation and marking
    • Marking and ordering information to ensure traceability and interchangeability.

Practical applications and users

  • Intended for:
    • Component manufacturers preparing detail specifications for PTC inrush current devices.
    • Procurement engineers and OEMs specifying compliant thermistors for power supplies, motor controllers and equipment requiring controlled inrush current.
    • Test laboratories and certification bodies assessing conformance to IEC/EN component standards.
    • Standards committees and national bodies producing translated or endorsed national standards (CENELEC/CLC members).
  • Practical value:
    • Ensures consistent, interoperable detail specifications across suppliers and countries.
    • Simplifies approval, procurement and quality control of PTC thermistors used as inrush current limiting elements.

Related standards

  • IEC/EN 60738‑1:2006 - Generic specification for directly heated PTC thermistors (to be used together with this blank detail specification).
  • IEC 60068‑2‑58 - Solderability and soldering heat for SMD terminations.
  • IEC 60410 - Sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributes.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60738-1-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 40:
Capacitors and resistors for electronic equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition issued in 1998. It constitutes a
technical revision.
This edition contains changes with respect to the referenced subclauses of the revised Generic
Specification IEC 60738-1.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60738-1

INTRODUCTION
Blank detail specification
A blank detail specification is a supplementary document to the generic specification and
contains requirements for style and layout and minimum content of detail specifications. Detail
specifications not complying with these requirements shall not be considered as being in
accordance with IEC specifications nor shall they so be described.
In the preparation of detail specifications the content of IEC 60738-1:2006,1.4 shall be taken
into account.
The numbers between brackets on the first page correspond to the following information which
shall be inserted in the position indicated.
Identification of the detail specification
[1] The "International Electrotechnical Commission" or the National Standards Organization
under whose authority the detail specification is drafted.
[2] The IEC or National Standards number of the detail specification, date of issue and any
further information required by the national system.
[3] The number and issue number of the IEC or national generic specification.
[4] The IEC number of the blank detail specification.
Identification of the thermistor
[5] A short description of the type of thermistor.
[6] Information on typical construction (if applicable).
NOTE When the thermistor is not designed for use on printed boards, this should clearly be stated in the detail
specification in this position.
[7] Outline drawing with main dimensions which are of importance for interchangeability
and/or reference to the national or international documents for outlines. Alternatively, this
drawing may be given in an annex to the detail specification.
[8] Application or group of applications covered and/or assessment level.
[9] Reference data on the most important properties, to allow comparison between the various
thermistor types.
