Synergistic Research MPC plugged in 24/7?

Just curious if anyone knows if the Mini Power Coupler (MPC) is supposed to be left plugged in and powered up 24/7? I read on another thread that one user had their MPC just die on them. It made me wonder if the MPC has some components in them with limited lifespan?

Tom, you also have to take into consideration the fact that the transformer within the MPC is putting out only 24VDC as compared to the cap, which is rated at 50VDC, is therefore really never being stressed at all and only loafing along, and will last under normal usage 7 to 10 years.

Thanks Michael, got your email as well. Thank you for the replies. Frankly, I am so impressed with your mod that I just want to make sure I take care of it so it lasts! Keep on the lookout for more MPCs sent your way in the not so distant future. Thank you for a great mod!

Tboooe, you have nothing to worry about. I think the numbers you're concerned with are listed under EXTREME conditions in the factory that are never really duplicated in the real world.
