Capacitor failure is an interesting technical topic. While seal failure and leakage are well known cases, the PCBs in the NSX are affected very differently. The ones in the engine ECU seem to last forever while others fail very early, all of them rated for 105 °C and well known brands. I'm still thinking there are additional factors involved besides temperature and lifetime - maybe chemicals used during PCB production and cleaning - or maybe I'm simply wrong

[QUOTE="Heineken, post: 2089638, member: 30613"] Capacitor failure is an interesting technical topic. While seal failure and leakage are well known cases, the PCBs in the NSX are affected very differently. The ones in the engine ECU seem to last forever while others fail very early, all of them rated for 105 °C and well known brands.
