have not seen this issue personally, often identify cracks on MLCC parts but never dark spots. May be worthwhile to replace as a precaution if at all possible.

Hi all, lately ofen I have problem with cracked ceramic capacitors.We use 0805 and 0603 cap. Samsung.ICT measure diferent capacity of nominal.If I tray to desoldering component , then component cracked.I think , that the reason is the moisture in com

suggest you check the preheat conditioning in the wavesolder process is sufficient, as this is the main culprit for micro-crack CAPs ?

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

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.

Hi We are experiencing serious problem with ceramic capacitors. They are with low electrical resistence and the problem is intermittent. We found some of them with micro cracks but not all. What could be the causes for this problem? We are su

Please send us more information about how the glue dots can cause capacitor cracks. I didn�t understand why it could happen. Thanks

Most of the time, Ceramic cracks are cracked due to mechanical stress. Check your depaneling methods. Cermaic caps that are close and perpendicular to the board edge are especially susceptible.

I had a similar problem with cracked caps. I checked all my processes and finally found that the caps were cracked in the tape. Check the condition of the caps in the tape. This was unique to one mfg.- EPCOS.

Are these caps on the bottom side or topside? Bottomside could be the glue dots are too big for the caps your putting down, the glue cures and then the solder is putting force on the edges of the cap causing cracks.. Other than that agree with oth
