Accelerated testing for failures of tantalum capacitors
In the first test, none of the tested 36 tantalum capacitors failed during 2500 h. Obviously, 85 °C, 85% relative humidity, and 15 V DC combined did not represent a stress high enough for the tantalum capacitors to fail. Consequently, such a standard test cannot be directly applied to tantalum capacitors to study their field failures.
