Definition of Failure Manufacturers job at production tominimize such cases
Depending on dimensioning and mission profileProduct failures can happen at any time like:
• Early Birds - occur at new devices• Early Failures
• Unexpected Failures• Random Failure
• At the End of Lifetime• Wear Out Failures
>> overall observed failures result in Bath Tub Curve

WE Matchcode WCAP-AIG8Life Endurance Useful lifeTime 2000 h 4000 h
Test condition 85°C, VR, IR 85°C, VR, IR
Requirements
1.ΔC/C≤±20%;2.DF≤2 times of the specified value;3.LC≤specified value;4.Capacitor without visible damage.
1.ΔC/C≤±40%;2.DF≤4 times of the specified value;3.LC≤specified value;4.Capacitor without visible damage.
- It is necessary to check this for each manufacturer because it is not standardized!
- Not the specification of the manufacturer finally determines the lifetime, it will be the dimensioning and selection of the proper capacitor for your design
>> How much capacitance drift is acceptable and still the application is running properly? <<
Endurance and Useful Life as example with WCAP-AIG8 series

Major Factors for Aging of E-Caps
• The following factors mainly accelerate the aging behavior of an e-cap:• Temperature
• electrolyte loss / dry out• leakage current >> oxide degradation
• Ripple Current• self heating >> electrolyte loss / dry out
• Voltage Level• leakage current >> oxide degradation
These effects result in:>> capacitance decrease>> increase of ESR>> DF change
