The multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) has become a widely used electronics component both for surface mount and embedded PCB applications. The MLCC technologies have gone through a number of material and process changes such as the shift from precious metal electrode (PME) configurations which were predominantly silver/palladium to base metal electrodes (BME) dominated by nickel. Each of these changes were accompanied by both quality and reliability problems. The MLCC industry is now in the midst of an unprecedented set of challenges similar to the Moore’s Law challenges being faced by the semiconductor industry. While capacitor failures have historically been responsible for a significant percentage of product field failures (most estimates are ~30%) we are seeing disturbing developments in the low voltage (

hi All, i have recently running a Ceramic board with silver/palladium surface finish, using Alpha Metal 63/37 WS solder paste, soldering meet IPC standard after reflow, however, the solder joint look grainy, not sure if there could be too much interm

No problem. If you get no joy you're going to have to change the footprint to a 1206 or 1210. Murata have a range of high Q value inductors (50-60) & from memory Toko used to be pretty hot too. The terminations on the coilcraft part are listed a

No suggestions, but we've also had problems with silver palladium. No wetting on reflow, when we tried handsoldering them, we could actually scrape off the whole finish and were left with a black unsolderable underground. It was just 1 reel, seems

Silver palladium termination * AgPd-terminated capacitors are designed for conductive adhesion. Reflow or wave soldering is not recommended. [EPCOS Multilayer ceramic capacitors, Soldering directions, October 2006] * CONDUCTIVE EPOXY BONDING. Epoxy c

Hi everybody, I found a defect varistor 0603 Tombstone and poor welting when we use component that terminal is Silver palladium (Ag/ Pd) with Leaded solder paste (63/37). Then we change alternative component that terminal is Ni/ Sn the result not fou

Your liquidus time is too long. 63/37 is a eutectic so leave at liquid state a very short time SF

We have done some work with conductive adhesives. The main lesson is: They do not adhere well to solder. * For components, a silver-palladium or gold end termination is recommended. * For substrates, gold over nickel should work well.
