They should be more robust in an automotive environment than the standard temperature (+85C) ones. Solid tantalums are a good choice for this application, as they don't have a known aging mechanism (they tend to fail less over time when not run at extremes). Electrolytics (which I believe the originals were) do, and are usually rated for only 1-2K hours of life. http://mouser.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=NfxPRzcKcOuTtgZJ6BnQrw%3D%3D |
