6 FAQs about [Ceramic capacitor cracking]

Why do multilayer ceramic capacitors crack?

Cracking remains the major reason of failures in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) used in space electronics. Due to a tight quality control of space-grade components, the probability that as manufactured capacitors have cracks is relatively low, and cracking is often occurs during assembly, handling and the following testing of the systems.

Do ceramic capacitors crack?

This presentation gives a review of recent project failures caused by cracks in ceramic capacitors and discusses deficiencies of the existing screening and qualification procedures that can reveal the propensity to cracking and effects of soldering stresses. Recent history cases. Effect of hydrogen. A case when derating does not work.

What causes a capacitor to crack?

These cracks may propagate to the top surface and will be rough or ragged with possible pieces of the capacitor burst from its bottom surface and trapped between the capacitor and board. This is a case where the solder paste has supported the capacitor ends but not the middle, allowing the unsupported component body to crack.

Can ceramic capacitors break out?

Ceramic capacitors can break out in several ways. They can be mechanically destroyed if there is too much physical stress on the part (for example, if the board is bent too far). Short circuits will form between the layers of the capacitor. In that situation, it works more like a resistor. What makes ceramic capacitors crack?

What causes ceramic capacitor failure?

The main causes of ceramic capacitor failure are silver ion migration and the resulting accelerated aging of titanium-containing ceramic dielectrics. In the fabrication of ceramic capacitors, some producers have employed nickel electrodes instead of silver electrodes, and electroless nickel plating has been used on the ceramic substrate.

Can a capacitor withstand cracks?

Obviously, capacitors using materials with higher fracture toughness can better resist cracks’ extension and would be more reliable. The ability of a material to resist fracture and withstand stresses in the presence of cracks is determined by its fracture toughness, Kc.
