Cracking Problems in Low-Voltage Chip Ceramic Capacitors

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.

Guide to Ceramic Capacitors

There are multiple ways that ceramic capacitors can malfunction and some are: 1. Cracking of Ceramic Capacitor: Ceramic capacitors may undergo mechanical cracks due to too much physical stress i.e., bending of the board or pressure on the part. This excessive bending can develop short circuits between layers.
