Arrhenius Calculator

AF = e^{\left(\frac{E_a}{k} \left(\frac{1}{T_{use}} - \frac{1}{T_{stress}}\right)\right)}

E_a = Activation energy (eV)
k = Boltzmann constant = 8.617×10⁻⁵ eV/K
T_use = Use temperature (K)
T_stress = Stress temperature (K)
Use Life = Desired use duration (hours)
Test Duration = Time to simulate under stress (hours)

Based on the original Arrhenius formulation: Svante Arrhenius, Z. Phys. Chem. 4 (1889) 226.

Material	Ea (eV)
Plastic	0.4–1.2
Semiconductor	0.2–0.6
Metal	0.5–0.9
Ceramic	0.9–1.5

Acceleration Factor: 2.00

To simulate 1000 hours of use at 50°C, test for 500 hours at 100°C.
