Storage time of film capacitors

How long can a film capacitor last?

must not rise by more than 10 °C. Film capacitors should be stored under temperatures conditions from - 25 °C up to 35 °C, with relative humidity maximum of 75 % without condensation. The following shelf life is applicable: Parts supplied on tape or bulk: Minimum shelf life of two years without impairing the electrical parameters.

How long does a capacitor last?

The shelf life of most capacitors depends on environment factors such as humidity, temperature, and atmospheric pressure. Subjecting capacitors to harsh conditions can significantly affect their electrical properties, or even damage them completely.

How should ceramic capacitors be stored?

Ceramic capacitors should be stored at temperature and humidity conditions specified by the manufacturer. Before using a capacitor, you should check the recommended shelf life, date of receipt, and inspect terminations. For most capacitors, the shelf life is significantly determined by storage conditions.

What affects the shelf life of a capacitor?

Subjecting capacitors to harsh conditions can significantly affect their electrical properties, or even damage them completely. The effect of environmental factors on the shelf life of capacitors varies depending on the chemical composition and construction of a capacitor.

What temperature should a film capacitor be stored in?

Burning droplets or glowing parts falling down shall not ignite the tissue paper. must not rise by more than 10 °C. Film capacitors should be stored under temperatures conditions from - 25 °C up to 35 °C, with relative humidity maximum of 75 % without condensation.

How do you calculate the life of a film capacitor?

For the life of a film capacitor, the Mean Time To Failure(MTTF), which is calculated by the inverse of the failure rate, is used as the basis for the life calculation. If a capacitor is used at high temperatures, its service life will be shortened due to thermal deterioration.
