To drill holes in a ceramic pot, it is best to use a specialized ceramic or masonry drill bit. These drill bits are made of a harder material, such as tungsten carbide or diamond, that can cut through ceramic effectively without causing damage. Additionally, ceramic drill bits typically have a sharp, pointed tip that helps to guide the drill and prevent slipping.
An effective method for preventing this is to orient capacitors relative to the board bending direction so that they are not easily affected by stress. This lesson introduces part layouts that help prevent board warping and bending from applying stress to parts.

A significant issue with ceramic capacitors is their propensity to crack under mechanical stress. At At Redgarden, we typically limit the size of surface mount ceramic capacitors to 1210 (~0.12 x 0.10 inches).
Ceramic capacitors need to be isolated away from flexure zones such as board corners and edges, connectors, large mass components like inductors/transformers and mounting holes.
In the course of failure analysis it is helpful to know that most of the time not only the failed ceramic capacitor shows a crack pattern but all the surrounding cercaps as well. Well-founded knowledge of different crack patterns and failure modes also allows us to discover unsafe bending and warping lines on the PCB.
Answers to the crack problem [1,2] To prevent board failures by failing ceramic capacitors the suppliers of the components took measures to stop catastrophic breakdowns even if they cannot entirely prevent the cracks themselves. First to name is the capacitor design called “open mode” or fail open” (see Fig. 10).
Design rules as “5 mm from edges” are not always sufficient. The orientation of the ceramic capacitors to possible sources of bending and warping has to be considered. An alignment parallel to the bending will completely prevent the formation of cracks.
In every electronic assembly line where ceramic capacitors are used and printed circuit boards are depaneled the quality risk “flex cracks” is widely known. Unfortunately flex cracks in “cercaps” always extend under the metal terminations of the capacitors and electrical tests only reveal about 1% of the affected parts.
In severe cases, the body of the capacitor may even fall out, leaving just remnants of ceramic surrounded by termination and solder joints. Fortunately, improvements in ceramic technology have reduced the incidence of both types of crack, at least as far as well-made components are concerned.
This indicates that the stress applied to the part can be greatly suppressed, so this is an effective means of preventing capacitor cracking. To summarize, orienting parts parallel to the break line (D in Figure 3) is the most effective means of reducing stress due to board breaks.
