电解电容器的使用寿命与什么因素有关呢？根据长期的实践经验总结出电解电容器的使用寿命与其工作环境的温度有着直接的关系。

　　What factors are related to the service life of electrolytic capacitors? According to the long-term practical experience, it is concluded that the service life of capacitor is directly related to the temperature of working environment.

　　普通的电解电容器在环境温度为90℃时已经损坏。但是现在有很多种类的电解电容器的工作环境温度已经很高在环境温度为90℃，通过电解电容器的交流电流和额定脉冲电流的比为0.5时，寿命仍然为10000h，但是如果温度上升到95℃时，电解电容器即已经损坏。

　　The common electrolytic capacitor has been damaged when the ambient temperature is 90 ℃. But now there are many kinds of electrolytic capacitors with high working environment temperature. When the ambient temperature is 90 ℃, the ratio of AC current passing through the electrolytic capacitor to rated pulse current is 0.5, the service life is still 10000h. However, if the temperature rises to 95 ℃, the electrolytic capacitor will be damaged.

　　在选择电容器的时候，应该根据具体的环境温度和其它的参数指标来选定，如果忽略了环境温度对电容器寿命的影响，那么电源工作的可靠性、稳定性将大大降低，甚至损坏设备和仪器。就一般情况而言，电解电容器工作在环境温度为80℃时，一般能达到10000h寿命的要求。

　　When selecting capacitors, the specific environmental temperature and other parameters should be selected. If the influence of environmental temperature on capacitor life is ignored, the reliability and stability of power supply will be greatly reduced, and even the equipment and instruments will be damaged. Generally speaking, the electrolytic capacitor can reach the life requirement of 10000 h when the ambient temperature is 80 ℃.

　　温度越高，电容器的寿命越短。所以在选择电解电容型号的时候一定要注意其所能承受的工作温度，以及适宜的工作温度，在适宜的温度下工作，才能更好的延长电解电容的使用时间。

　　The higher the temperature, the shorter the life of the capacitor. Therefore, in the selection of electrolytic capacitor model, we must pay attention to the working temperature it can bear, and the appropriate working temperature, and work under the appropriate temperature, in order to better extend the use time of electrolytic capacitor.

　　电解电容器的寿命还与电容器长时间工作的交流电流与额定脉冲电流，一般是指在85℃的环境温度下测试值，但是有一些耐高温的电解电容器是在125℃时测试的数据的比值有关。一般说来，这个比值越大，电解电容器的寿命越短，当流过电解电容器的电流为额定电流的3.8倍时，电解电容器一般都已经损坏。所以，电解电容器有它的安全工作区，对于一般应用，当交流电流与额定脉冲电流的比值在3.0倍以下时，对于寿命的要求已经满足。

　　The service life of electrolytic capacitor is also related to the AC current and rated pulse current of capacitor working for a long time, which generally refers to the test value under the ambient temperature of 85 ℃. However, some electrolytic capacitors with high temperature resistance are related to the ratio of test data at 125 ℃. Generally speaking, the higher the ratio, the shorter the life of electrolytic capacitor. When the current flowing through the electrolytic capacitor is 3.8 times of the rated current, the electrolytic capacitor is generally damaged. Therefore, the electrolytic capacitor has its safe working area. For general applications, when the ratio of AC current to rated pulse current is less than 3.0 times, the requirements for service life have been met.

　　由此可见，电解电容的使用寿命主要取决于工作温度和交流电流与额定脉冲电流两个因素，确定好这两个工作因素之后，再选择合适的电解电容才能有效的推进后续的工作。

　　It can be seen that the service life of electrolytic capacitor mainly depends on the working temperature and AC current and rated pulse current. After these two working factors are determined, the appropriate electrolytic capacitor can effectively promote the follow-up work.
