What have companies done to address the cracking problem of multi-layer
cermaic chip capacitors? We see cracking problems with 0.1 and 0.01
microfarad X7R ceramic caps. The defect is more a mechanical stress crack
and not a thermal stress crack.
We understand some companies prohibit this type of component from being
included in product design. Does anyone have ideas how a company can
successfully use these components? Are there alternative components that
can be used to replace the X7R capacitor?
Suggestions, comments and horror stories welcomed.
Thanks. Rick Vernon, Phoeinx International
