Automotive-grade tantalum for engine-bay and chassis power rails
This is the accelerated life test condition, not the expected service life at lower temperatures. In a 105°C engine-bay environment, the lifetime roughly doubles per 10°C drop — so you can expect 8000+ hours at 105°C. For a vehicle with a 10-year, 8000-hour service life target, this cap is adequate for non-critical decoupling but may require derating for continuous high-ripple positions. No derating is required at the voltage rating for temperatures up to 85°C; above 85°C, the voltage derating curve in the datasheet should be followed to avoid accelerated wear.
