Life time expectancy

One unique feature of this technology (as opposed to electolytics) is how the capacitor reacts at the end of its lifetime. Whereas with an electrolytic there is a strong risk of explosion of the case. However with our line of film capacitors, the capacitor will simply experience at the end of life a loss of capacitance of about 5%, with no risk of explosion.

Please note that this is theoretical, however, as the capacitor continues to be functional even after this 5% decrease
