Mobile application specific MLCC These MLCC products are designed for use in devices with a typical lifetime of less than 5 years. (Examples: Cellular phone, Smartphone, Tablet PC, Digital camera, Watch, Electronics dictionary, Small-scale server, IPC-9592B class1 equipment, etc. )

Mobile application specific MLCC products are designed so that the estimated useful life can be extended longer than 5 years under the following conditions: 「80% of the rated voltage or less, Maximum operating temperature -20 degree C or less」(10 years or more for general-purpose MLCC products). The estimated useful life under actual operating conditions can be approximated from the following chart.

Lifetime of MLCC can also be estimated from voltage acceleration and temperature acceleration factors. Please refer to following URL about these lifetime estimation. Ceramic Capacitors FAQ "Are there any methods for estimating the lifetime of a capacitor? "
