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

Please describe the location and appearance of the crack

We also encountered the crack case in multi layer Ceramic Cap,0603 after touch up. Most failure were on the terminals. Previously, we used 0805 instead 0603.that time, failure were very few.

check your de-panelling process if you are using break-out tabs or V scoring.

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.

Is the board a two sided smt board? If so, where are the standoffs (board supports) located during the second side run? The 0805 being thicker than the 0603 may explain why 0805 was cracked less.

I had cracking caps from the ICT and a variation in the length of the probes (due to wear and tear) that press down the PCB. That put lots of mechanical stress on the PCB. So have also a close look at the ICT, or another other test fixtures you use.

Dennis: These "terminal detach failures" probably are caused by thermal shocking of the components. * Preheat the components * Use a hot air pencil rather than a soldering iron

Hi, about location - components are in the diferent location on PCB.In the one PCB have 7 cap 560pF 0603 , and some of thenm are cracked, another are OK. When I look at 20x microscope , I can't see defect, but ICT measure from 200 to 350pf.When hea
