Customer ServiceElectrolytic capacitors are used everywhere in electronics. Due to the applied voltage a certain temperature profile will be established at the capacitor, with a higher temperature in the core of the element and respectively lower on the surface. Several aspects, the heat generated by components as well as the heat from the surrounding, influence the ambient temperature.

Customer ServiceIn September, the TDK Corporation introduced a new series of surface-mount electrolytic capacitors with an average life rating of approximately 4,000 hours (Figure 1). That number is twice as long as typical electrolytic capacitors with average life ratings of approximately 2,000 hours.

Customer ServiceMechanisms and failure modes according to the stress in an electrolytic capacitor. A normal use of the capacitor leads to the evaporation of the electrolyte and the repair of the oxide layer. These are two causes of electrolyte disappearance, which is the main cause of capacitor degradation under normal conditions.
Motor-start capacitors have the lowest dissipation factors of the aluminum electrolytics, as low as 2% at 120 Hz. Low-gain foil is used in order to achieve such low ESR. The cases are often made of plastic to provide electrical isolation from the electrolyte potential, which follows the applied voltage.
An electrolytic capacitor has several failure modes and causes. Electrical, thermal, mechanical, and environmental stresses cause the degradation of this component. The main failure mechanism is the evaporation of the electrolyte, which is accelerated with temperature rise during the operation, mainly due to ripple currents.
The most commonly used model for electrolytic capacitors is based on Arrhenius' law, which describes the influence of the constraints related to the ambient temperature and the current flowing through the capacitors, and on the Coffin-Manson empirical law for the consideration of the applied voltage.
Therefore, the major factors affecting the lifetime of electrolytic capacitors in the power applications will be the operating temperature, the ripple current and the operating voltage. Other factors have minor affect to the lifetime and can be ignored in the calculation. 1. Influence of temperature on the lifetime model
