capacitors

i wish i knew why they fail,i have talked to several tech reps,size and ease of manufacturing is all i hear about,interesting thing eric...i have a 94 corvette.. and last summer the bose CD player quit working,i removed the cd player itself from the delco bose radio..and guess what?? it was a matshushita cd player,and loaded with these SMD caps,i checked them and they all had high ESR,i replaced them and it works perfect,but the delco radio itself has regular can type lytics,you will find these type of caps in all kinds of electronics.BUT..it is rare you will find these type of caps in industrial-medical electronics,usually high temp small can types.
