Is it common to see values of capacitors drift after temperature cycling? I
had a 15% ICT fallout on some caps after 48 hrs temperature (85deg)
cycling.
The values drifted @+/- 11% from their nominal. The component specs allow a
+/- 10%, but I am curious why the moderate temperature cycling would cause
a 15% failure rate for capacitor value drifting when they were tested on
the ICT second time around.

The ICT parameters/set up did not change and I had 100% ICT pass rate first
time around.
