Flex cracking under the terminations is generally regarded as one of the primary causes of failure of ceramic chips. If you can see cracks in the solder joints from board flex, those chips are certainly strongly suspect, and you must assume there is

We have had failure due to a leakage in one ceramic chip capacitor. External inspection did not show any obvious damage. Cross section showed a void in the capacitor. The void was an elliptical shape and positioned longitudinal to the length of the c

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

I've seen numerous incidences of mirror image cracking under endcaps in high dielectric material ceramic capacitors due to thermal cycling. If the cracking is deep enough to extent through the plates you can get breakdown and shorting. Section the ca

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

if the capacitors are placed very near to the edge and their position is 90 deg than it may cause crack.4thly if the reflow ramp rate is more than 3 deg C then it may crack. 5th ly if the solderin tip temp. is very high and soldering bit is very thi

150*C/min * Determining the distance it takes to lower the delta temperature at the current conveyor speed: [150*C/min]/[25 inch/min] = 6*C/inch * Calculating how much of this 6*C/inch would be spread along the length of the 0805 capacitor: [6*C/inch

Hi iv40 Try with NIC ceramic capacitor that was tested in wet process. We hav succeed with these cap after we found some failure with Kemet ceramic Cap which tested in dry test process while manufacturing.
