6 FAQs about [Shock-resistant ceramic capacitors]

Do large-size capacitors have high resistance against thermal stresses?

Microscopic examinations confirmed the presence of cracks near terminals in the failed sample. Results of this study show that large-size capacitors (2220 and 1825) have high resistance against thermal stresses developed during solder dip testing.

What is the thermal shock resistance of Y5V and Z5U capacitors?

It was shown that the thermal shock resistance decreases in a row 0402, 0603, 0805, and 1206 capacitors, and the corresponding critical temperatures are 400 oC, 300 oC, 200 oC, and 100 oC. TS resistance of Y5V and Z5U 0.1 uF 0805 size capacitors was shown to be inferior compared to similar size and value of BT parts.

Can solder dip thermal shock damage a capacitor?

(b) 1 F, 50 V capacitor, damaged by solder dip thermal shock (SDT). The effect of fracture on resistance values that were calculated based on the Vabs(t) curves, before and after mechanical damage, for 20 different types of capacitors, is shown in Fig. 11.

Do high volumetric efficiency capacitors decrease resistance after damage?

In several cases that were related to high volumetric efficiency capacitors, no decrease in the resistance after damage was due to the capacitor’s initial low resistance. In these cases, the intrinsic leakage current exceeded the damage-related currents, thus masking the presence of the defects.

Why do ceramic capacitors fail after long-term storage?

The presence of this voltage across capacitors during storage might initiate degradation processes similar to those that cause failures in capacitors with defects during low-voltage humidity testing. Several cases of failures in ceramic capacitors after long-term storage have been reported.
