Re:Why do electronic components have such odd values? (2021) by analog31 on Tuesday June 04, 2024 @06:13PM (#40579495)
Factored into the tolerance is the temperature coefficient, because the tolerance is specified over the operating range. There are also 3 basic temperature ranges: Industrial, automotive, and military. I've used this to my advantage by spec'ing automotive capacitors when I needed tighter tolerances for my normally room temperature applications.

They also laser-trim IC's.
