Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F01 on Electronics, this test method was withdrawn in January 2024 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.
Значение и использование3.1 Capacitance testing is useful for design verification, quality control of materials, and workmanship.
3.2 High capacitance may interfere with the reliable performance of interface electronics.
3.3 Specific areas of testing are, but not limited to:
3.3.1 Conductor/dielectric/conductor crossing point,
3.3.2 Close proximity of conductors, and
3.3.3 Any other conductive surface such as shielding or metal backing panel.
Область применения1.1 This test method covers the determination of capacitance(s) of a membrane switch or printed electronic device.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
