6 FAQs about [Measuring the quality of metal film capacitors]
What factors affect the failure rate of a film capacitor?
In the case of film capacitors, the two most relevant parameters affecting the failure rate are tem-perature and voltage. In the IEC61709:2011 standard, models for stress factors are consequently applied in order to convert the failure rates under reference conditions to values applying for oper-ating conditions.
How is the finish of film capacitors assessed?
The finish of film capacitors is assessed in compliance with EPCOS finish specifications. For more detailed specification, refer to the "General technical information" chapter. When applicable, the individual data sheets are definitive for finishing. The failure rate is defined as the failure percentage divided by a specified operating period.

They are not covered by DIN EN 60062:2005. The following table is a summary of important technical data.
Why do film capacitors have a low reliability index?
However, due to the adverse working conditions, such as high voltage and high temperature, film capacitors generally own a lower reliability index. And the sudden failure or fault of film capacitors is very likely to cause the paralysis of the whole electronic system, which may lead to a catastrophic accident.
How reliable are film capacitors?
The most important reliability feature of film capacitors is their self-healing capability, i.e. their abil-ity to clear faults (such as pores or impurities in the film) under the influence of a voltage. The metal coatings, vacuum-deposited directly onto the plastic film, are only 20 50 nm thick.
