To achieve the full 25,000 hour life, this capacitor requires a temperature of no more than 65 degrees Centigrade. This is particularly challenging, as the ambient temperature in this kind of application can exceed 125 degrees Centigrade.
Heating to 200°C for 10 minutes for a second time probably won't ruin your capacitors, but it may reduce their life. The most important, however, is the peak temperature phase, where the temperature goes for a short time (about half a minute) to about 250°C, depending on package volume.
When the capacitor is used at a temperature above the upper category temperature, insulation resistance of the capacitor may deteriorate and cause rapid current increase and a short circuit. ③ Radiation heat from heating components such as Power transistors, PTC thermistors, etc., around the capacitor.
They and most capacitors DO have a maximum temperature rating. Most are rated to 85 C but for SMPS and other power devices you may need to buy 105 C rated versions. An 85 C capacitor exposed to 100 C will have a short life. It may dry up and do nothing, or pressure build-up may make it go BANG.
For long periods of storage keep capacitors at cool room temperatures and in an atmosphere free of halogen gases like chlorine and fluorine that can corrode aluminum. Storage temperature ranges are from –55 ºC to the upper limit of the operating-temperature ranges. Sources: Capacitor Selection Guide - KEMET (.PDF)
Largely the formation voltage sets the high-temperature limit. Higher formation voltages permit higher operating temperatures but reduce the capacitance. The low-temperature limit of an electrolytic capacitor is set largely by the cold resistivity of the electrolyte.
You can apply maximum 10.7V to the capacitor for the entire operation temperature range to 125°C (voltage derating 20% is covered by the 33% temperature derating). Thus 16V capacitor is NOT suitable for 125°C device due to the high temperature. Need higher rated 20V tantalum polymer capacitor.
To achieve the full 25,000 hour life, this capacitor requires a temperature of no more than 65 degrees Centigrade. This is particularly challenging, as the ambient temperature in this kind of application can exceed 125 degrees Centigrade.
Also, the specified DC working voltage is valid within a certain temperature range, normally -30°C to +70°C. Any DC voltage in excess of its working voltage or an excessive AC ripple current may cause failure. It follows therefore, that a capacitor will have a longer working life if operated in a cool environment and within its rated voltage. Common working DC voltages are 10V, 16V, …

Class II (or written class 2) ceramic capacitors offer high volumetric efficiency with change of capacitance lower than −15% to +15% and a temperature range greater than −55 °C to +125 °C, for smoothing, by-pass, coupling and decoupling applications
Is it possible for a 100u or 10u electrolytic capacitor to operate at -30C ambient temperature? What type of capacitors can this be replaced for such low temperatures to operate fine and better stability? Silicon capacitors might be a good choice (expensive though).

1.1.3 Temperature dependence of capacitance. The capacitance of a tantalum capacitor varies with temperature. This variation itself is dependent to a small extent on the rated voltage and capacitor size. 1.1.4 Frequency dependence of the capacitance. The effective capacitance decreases as frequency increases. Beyond 100kHz the capacitance continues to drop until …
At my present job we have had some bad experience of X5R rated capacitors used outside of their spec, but it seems to be related to a combination both to applied voltage and temperature.

The Average Temperature Range Of Regular Capacitors. The temperature range of regular capacitors can vary depending on the type, manufacturer and specific application. In general, most regular capacitors can operate effectively within a temperature range of about -55°C (32F) to +125°C (257F). However, some capacitors may have narrower or ...

The temperature characteristic of the material defines the maximum rated operating temperature of the capacitor. For example, a X7R is defined to operate up to 125°C while a X5R is defined to operate up to 85°C. The total temperature of your circuit environment plus the self-heating (i.e. ripple current) of the capacitor combined cannot exceed the …
