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

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.

Thanks, Dennis. That is a good idea, but I > have problem :) - our logistic department lookig > for cheap components...What other mnfg of cap you > use? Regards, The capacitor dielectric material might be something you could look at also. COG,

A couple of things: Does the cap break if you try to remove it with hot air? If not, than you are breaking the caps do to mechanical stress. We have had similar issues. I don't think your board is suffering from mechanical stress from depaneling o

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.

*** silly question deleted, there are no 100nF NPO ***

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.
