Single-Ended Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors – ESL, +105°C
Frequency Dependence of the Ripple Current
ESR and, thus, the tan δ depend on the frequency of the applied voltage. This indicates that the allowed ripple current is also
a function of the frequency.
Temperature Dependence of the Ripple Current
The data sheet speci es maximum ripple current at the upper category temperature for each capacitor.
Expected Life Calculation
Expected life depends on operating temperature according to the following formula: L = Lo x 2
(To-T)/10
Where:
L: Expected life
Lo: Load life at a maximum permissible operating
temperature
T: Actual operating temperature
To: Maximum permissible operating temperature
This formula is applicable between 40°C and To.
Actual Operating Temperature (C°)
