Abstract

An accelerated life testing(ALT) for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is conducted and analyzed. A testing equipment, which consists of part fixtures, relay board, controller, video bridge and microcomputer, is made for the ALT. Load factors are temperature with four levels and voltage with three levels. Base on 'optimized 4:2:1 plan', 2,000 electrolytic capacitors are allocated at 12 experimental conditions(; 4 levels of temperature ${\times}3$ levels of voltage), and the ALT is conducted. From the experimental results, an acceleration model is derived and acceleration factors are estimated. A discussion on the experimental results is included.
