Hi
Normally the lifetime of an electrolytic capacitor is defined as the minus
20% capacitance pointBut it seems it continues to degrade linearly beyond the rated lifetime poi nt
So, if a bigger capacitance is marginally higher cost, one could ?u se? the capacitance beyond the minus 20% point if the application w orks at that lower capacitance to get longer overall lifetime
Any one done this?
