The goal of passive components’ failure analysis (FA) is to determine the root cause for an electrical failure. The findings can be used by the manufacturers to improve upon the design, materials, and processes used to create their components. This leads to better quality and higher reliability components. The FA also.

As a baseline, KEMET provides data that can be used with the MIL-HDBK-217 formula to calculate Failures In Time (FIT) for ceramic and tantalum capacitors. Measuring the number of failures over time provides a failure rate (λ). The failure rate that occurs during one billion device hours is called the Failure In Time (FIT). In other words,
