EIA Ripple life in a capacitor datasheet: what is it?

jarthel · 17th July 2006, 12:40 AM

I was reading this datasheet (http://www.cde.com/catalogs/381-383.pdf) and came across "EIA Ripple life" and there's also load life.

I think load life would be similar to the "life time" spec found in other manufacturer. But what is "EIA ripply life"?

Thanks for the help

Did you try google?

It seems to be an industry standard for life time measurements for electrolytic capacitors. If you really do want all the details, in addition to what the datasheet already tells you, it seems you can order a hardcopy for $51 here
