*2 Maximum operating temperature: By design, maximum ambient temperature including self-heating 20°C MAX that allows continuous use of capacitors. The EIA standard specifies various capacitance temperature factors ranging from 0ppm/°C to −750ppm/°C. Figure 1 below shows typical temperature characteristics.
The temperature characteristics of ceramic capacitors are those in which the capacitance changes depending on the operating temperature, and the change is expressed as a temperature coefficient or a capacitance change rate. There are two main types of ceramic capacitors, and the temperature characteristics differ depending on the type. 1.
The capacitance of a capacitor can change value with the circuit frequency (Hz) y with the ambient temperature. Smaller ceramic capacitors can have a nominal value as low as one pico-Farad, ( 1pF ) while larger electrolytic’s can have a nominal capacitance value of up to one Farad, ( 1F ).
The relationship between capacitor lifespan and operating temperature follows Arrhenius' Law of Chemical Activity, which says that lifespan of a capacitor doubles for every 10°celsius decrease in the temperature. Below are the formulas for capacitor lifespan calculations for different type of capacitors.
The lifetime of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is affected mainly by the loss of electrolyte as the result of diffusion through the rubber seal materials, which leads to a decrease in capacitance and increase in tanδ . The relationship of temperature to the diffusion of electrolyte follows the Arrhenius’ Law (Equations (4) and (5)):
