The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the operating hours (service life) and is determined by the
lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specified in operational hours.
Lifetime expectancy is calculated according to the capacitor’s manufacturer specification.
MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to the statistically device failures, and
indicates reliability of a device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not
necessarily represent a life of a product.
