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

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.

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.

Try heating a blank board on a hotplate to 183 deg C. with a board this thick, if the layer construction is poorly balanced, it may bend enough in the region of the ceramic capacitor for the soldered joints to crack it on cooling to ambient.

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

Why don't you give us the full process along with your delta T for the wave (final preheat temp to wave contact temp). Don't forget de-paneling, ICT, and other things. It could be from the supplier, but it usually is from excessive placement force

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

The vast majority of issues I have seen are from depaneling with a PCB seperator. Try placing a row of tightly spaced unplated holes adjacent to the edge that the crack parts are being found out (assuming they are within .5" or so of the score line)

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

Can anyone help to identify this little tan/brown colored pcb part? (The one labeled GND) I believe it's called an SMD ceramic capacitor but could certainly be incorrect. There don't appear to be any marking on it so beside the tan color, picture qu
