Ceramic capacitors larger then EIA size 1812 are known to be very susceptible to thermal shock damage due to their large ceramic mass.

If I am putting chip capacitors on a .063 FR4 board, what size package should we stay away from to avoid cracking? If I use 2 mil copper on the outside layers of a PCB, am I limited to what pitch of parts I can use? Specifically, will using 0603

How large of chip capacitor can we use reliably? I��ve heard they tend to crack. I��ve also heard if you pre heat the larger chip caps (1812 and above) before vapor phase reflow, they won��t crack. If I use 2 mil copper for a power supply board, a

hi Bob, Thanks for the info. I understand your comments, but I am looking for specific guidance, If I am putting chip capacitors on a .063 FR4 board, what size package should we stay away from to avoid cracking? (I realize this is dependent on h

Hi CW, Larger chip caps can be susceptable to cracking, but mainly this is due to handling - flexing of boards is the main culprit (the part being mechanically joined at both ends to the board). PCB's usually flex easiest along one axis, and larger

Hi CW, Regarding orientation, yes, your diagram is right - see the following link for confirmation. http://search.murata.co.jp/Ceramy/image/img/A18X/C2EB3C.PDF Regarding information on bending strength you want to talk to your local Murata office

Alibaba has plenty of them https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/thickness-measuring-instrument.html Just stick to the ultrasonic method to measure the copper thickness. sarason

If you need to know the exact copper thickness of the board, you can ask the Fab to offer the microscopic report, I have already made a 2oz board in ALLPCB before and asked them offeed me this report,usually normal factories can offer it but need add

Ken - are you looking for copper weight or material thickness as Paul answered. If your talking copper it would be 5 oz. Regards, Mike

Out of curiousity, Isn't soldermask only used as a solder processing aid and to cover the copper? Russ
