Since the body of a capacitor consists of ceramic if a mechanical shock is applied directly the capacitor may be damaged and a crack may be generated.
Ceramic chip capacitor high vibration.
We provide high quality commercial capacitors military capacitors space capacitors high temperature capacitors pulse energy capacitors for efi detonators microwave capacitors and rf capacitors as well as custom capacitors.
Under the following status the vibration and or shock may be applied to a capacitor.
This vibration if at sufficient magnitude can induce.
Take the measures of fixing the capacitor etc.
Avoiding failures in ceramic chip capacitors shown in also known as multilayer ceramic capacitors mlccs is strongly driven by the ability of the designer both electrical and mechanical to follow guidelines based on an understanding on how surface mount ceramic capacitors fail.
When a crack occurs on the element of an mlcc multilayer ceramic chip capacitor due to depaneling of the print circuit board screw fastening or shock from a vibration or a drop it may lead to a short circuit failure.
Presidio components inc has been an industry leader in the manufacture of ceramic capacitors since 1980.
By the equipment manufacturer if necessary.
Besides these large ceramic power capacitors for high voltage or high frequency transmitter applications are also to be found.
Along with the style of ceramic chip capacitors ceramic disc capacitors are often used as safety capacitors in electromagnetic interference suppression applications.
