Failure mechanisms in ceramic capacitors
Less obvious is the creation of micro-cracks under the visible surface of the capacitor, which propagate along isothermal lines within the component (Figure 2). This form of damage is particularly insidious, since electrical failure may not occur until some time after assembly, when the finished product is out in the field.
