Wow. And I thought I was the only one having problem with ceramic capacitors.I too am having problem with cracking ceramic capacitors 1206 package.We changed vendors and still having the same problem. I had to reverify my entire process and I had to

DST, What was the crack signature? Was the crack parallel with the internal electrodes or 45� with the terminal electrode? It is also important to determine the orientation of the failed caps on the PCB (in regards to depaneling). Perhaps the cap

Rich, From my experience, few causes of capacitor cracking are: - mechanical stress caused by pick'n place nozzles and chucks. Try to isolate and find cracked caps before boards go thru reflow or wavsoldering. - thermal stress by reflow pro

We had this problem with 0805 0.1 mF also. This problem was only with this capacitor. We have replaced all these capacitor after the ninth occurrence. My opinion - it is a defect of the manufacturer. Please inform the manufacturer of your capacitor.

We've not performed any incoming electrical testing on these caps, as it has always been assumed that new parts would be good. However, after reading a number of messages on this site, I'm starting to have my doubts whether or not that is a good pra

Hello, does anyone have any information on stress induced during V-score depaneling. We are using a machine with a fixed blade on the bottom and a free rotating blade on top driven by a motor. We have had some cracked capacitors on the edge of an a
