Abstract :
This paper demonstrates the criteria of quality and reliability which can be obtained for three types of non-professional grade capacitors. Figures are given for both Acceptable Quality Level and Lot Tolerance Percentage Defective, for three levels of applications, and failure rates are examined as a function of temperature and voltage, for the three classes considered. Life expectancy and its dependence on temperature and voltage are also discussed for a particular example.
