6 FAQs about [Basic failure rate of capacitors]
What is a capacitor failure rate?
Allow AC current to pass through it. Capacitor failure is the loss or deterioration of these functions. Failure rate is defined the frequency with which an engineered system or component fails, expressed in failures per unit of time *01. *01 JIS C 5003-1974 General Test Procedure of Failure Rate for Electronic Components
What is failure analysis and reliability evaluation for ceramic capacitors?
Failure analysis and reliability evaluation for ceramic capacitors are also given. The failure modes and failure mechanisms were studied in order to estimate component life and failure rate, and the failure criticality is considered to estimate failure effect, which provide information feedback and ensure the quality of the products.
What happens if a capacitor fails?
This failure can cause the enclosure to explode, smoke, ignite, harm other electrical components, or leak liquid or gas from inside the capacitor. Degradation failures may include increased leakage current, increased ESR, and decreased capacitance, although the definition of parameters and their limits vary among manufacturers *02, 03.
What are the common failure modes of capacitors?
Generally, common failure modes of capacitors are as follow (Fig 1), and for ceramic capacitors, the main failure modes are open circuit, short circuit and parameters drift. Fig.1.

Can voltage derating cause a capacitor to fail?
The expected operating temperature is at times very high and may lead to unexpected failures, yet the voltage derating significantly reduces the stress on the dielectric. Of course, other stresses (lightening strike, physical or assembly damage, etc.) may lead to capacitor failures.
