The bend test performance of Knowles Precision Devices’s sintered termination capacitors is comparable with competitor’s sintered termination product. For International Specifications and Knowles Precision Devices Bend Test Methods refer to the Bend Testing section. Reduce the mechanical stress being exerted on the capacitors.
Capacitor manufacturers recognize this and typically provide information indicating the capacitors durability to printed circuit board bending through the IEC-384-1 specification. A typical test setup for capacitor bend testing [7, 9] is shown in Fig. 2.
For the multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC), direct loading by conventional facilities is not suitable because of its small size. To date, the standard method used to determine MLCC’s mechanical properties is board flex test; i.e., mounting the capacitor onto a printed circuit board (PCB) and applying bending to the entire system.
Thus electronic designers are now demanding flexibility that exceeds the current Automotive Electronic Council bend test specification (AEC-Q200 Rev D June 1, 2010). Mechanical cracking resistance can be increased by two methods; 1. Reduce the mechanical stress being exerted on the capacitors by PCB design/assembly processes. 2.
4.1 Mechanical crack detection Detection of mechanical cracking in capacitors post assembly and depanelisation not only requires additional equipment for temperature change, increased moisture, mechanical shock and vibration, and or X ray analysis, these methods have also been shown to have limited success in detecting mechanical cracks.
