For the life of a film capacitor, the Mean Time To Failure(MTTF), which is calculated by the inverse of the failure rate, is used as the basis for the life calculation. If a capacitor is used at high temperatures, its service life will be shortened due to thermal deterioration.
The self-inductance or series inductance LS of a film capacitor is due to the magnetic field created by the current in the film metallization and the connections. It is thus determined by the winding structure, the geometric design and the length and thickness of the contact paths.
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.
