6 Useful Life and MTTF Values

There may be confusion in useful lifetime and mean time to failure (MTTF) values, but they refer to different aspects of reliability.

The useful life calculations shown here assess if the component will outlast the system reliability requirement. With respect to end industries, the longest requirement for system useful life TI modeled was 20 years useful life for metering applications. (In such outdoor applications, the ambient temperatures assisted in lowering the effective temperatures.)

MTTF on the other hand, is a projection of when the arithmetic mean time between failures of the whole population where it is an inverse of the FIT rate. The MTTF is orders of magnitudes higher than the useful life.
