I'm sure many of you with old equipment must have considered the fact that
electrolytic caps have a finite life and considered replacing them. I have a few
that look suspect (bulging) on a transceiver, and decided to replace them. I'm
tempted to do all of them in the PSU, as:
For the PSU I used all 105 deg C caps, apart from one which was rated at 125 deg
C. These are higher spec than the originals.
I also replaced another cap (not in a hot region) with a 105 deg C rated cap.
I've made my capacitor choice based on assuming.
Higher temperature devices (like 105 deg C) will be more relieable than low
temperature ones like the standard 85 deg C cap. I'm sure at high temperatures,
that must be true, but I've no idea if it would be beneficial if the cap does
not get very warm.
There are no disadvantage of the higher temperature caps, other than cost.
Are these true?
I've ruled out the idea of replacing all electrolytics with new ones. That would
be a LOT of work, and cost a lot of money.

least as good as one rated at 7000 hours at 105 deg C.

Even 1000 hours I've seen. But these are of course at the maximum temperature,
which few would use them at. Otherwise failure rates would be a lot higher than
they are.
I've not seen any electrolytics rated more than 10,000 hours (14 months), but
they last a lot longer if the temperature is lower.
My PC is already more than 14 months old, and has been on 24/7. Hopefully it is

Well, I think the MTBF will be a lot more than that in practical use, as few
would design equipment to run at 85 deg C, which is the lowest maximum
temperature rating I've seen on any cap.

David Another important factor when considering power supply caps is ripple
current rating. It is generally the ripple current that makes them get warm.
I think the "usual" thumbnail calculation still work for caps if you can
reduce the temperature by 20 degrees they will last at least 4 times as
long. That is an activation energy (Arrhenius eqn) of about 1ev. I also
believe though I cant quote that they are best run at about 75% of their
specified working voltage. I have always wonderd about this but it would
seem to be a mistake to have too low a voltage on electrolytics ...maybe
something to do with the strength of the instulating layer formed.

It is discussed in ITT's Reference Data for Radio Engineers. It certainly
was true at one time.... not necessarily anymore, though. In the old days,
the oxide layer that formed the dielectric was mostly formed in place by
applying a controlled current to the capacitor at a voltage above the intended
operating voltage. Now, the aluminum electrode foil is anodized before the
capacitor is assembled, and the electrolytes are specifically formulated to
not damage the oxide layer.... and yet, I find that some electrolytic
capacitors that have been run at lower than normal voltage improve markedly
when "reformed" by applying rated voltage through a 10K resistor for a
couple of hours.

Group,
During my days of interest in antique radios, I learned that
the dielectric between aluminum plates was formed by passing
current in one direction to build up an oxide coating on the
plates, which became the dielectric. The thickness is directly
proportional to working voltage and inversely proportional to
capacitance. As we learned from reforming old caps, the oxide
thins when there is no voltage on the cap, but can be restored
by passing several milliamps through the cap. Applying rated
voltage before it was formed would destroy the cap by welding
spots of the plates together.
I'm not sure that this applies to modern caps.
As to the temperature rating, a high temp cap run in a cool
environment will be as unhappy as someone transplanted from
Miami to Minneapolis in the winter. It may work, but it will
be very unhappy - so it depends on your empathy for the cap.
There ought to be a way to work precision time into this
thread, but I can't think of one.

Hi Bill,
I agree with your forming information, as applied to older caps,
but not your temperature information. The 105C high temp caps
are just as happy, or unhappy really, with low temperatures as
the 85C caps. Basically the difference between the two is water.
The 85C caps have an electrolyte with a significant amount of water,
that boils dry at high temperatures. The 105C caps don't. Kind
of like the difference between an antifreeze and water solution,
and straight antifreeze. Both seriously run out of capacitance
when they get below freezing.
The loss of capacitance can really bite you when you use integrated
low overhead voltage regulators in automotive temperature ranges.
The regulators will oscillate if they don't have enough capacitance
on their input terminals... which can happen if you specify an
electrolytic capacitor that is right around the 100uf needed. When
it gets to 0C, and becomes a 10uf capacitor, the regulator takes off
and burns up your load.

Oh to add further information.
I love old caps. They go bad and I get my test equipment for cheap.
That said I do measure the caps I am going to put in on a old style HP cap
meter that can apply up to 100 volts to the cap. I look for leakage. What I
see in quite modern caps that have been around for a while (Surplus you get
at hamfest approx 3-5 years) is that there is a higher leakage current that
does settle down after a while. So I sense the forming effect still exists.
Am I wrong about this??

IMO, the issue of reforming is very much alive with electrolytics, old and
new.
In some modern PZT actuator drivers, there is a warning to bring up the
supplies slowly if the unit has been dormant for sx months or more.

applications operating at less than 45 oC no derating is needed,

operating life continues to increase for further derating, military

Sorry to perpetuate the OT discussion, but there is an excellent series of articles by capacitor design engineer Cyril Bateman called Understanding Capacitors, published in EW&WW magazine in the late '90s. The article on electrolytics covers almost anything you might want to know about them, and is a very worthwhile read. I highly recommend the whole series.
Cyril had the articles posted on his own website some time ago, which I can no longer find. But, they are still available online if you search around.
