3 states of capacitor damage

The classic capacitor failure mechanism is di­electric breakdown. The dielectric in the capacitor is subjected to the full potential to which the device is charged and, due to small capacitor physical sizes, high electrical stresses are common. Dielectric breakdowns may develop after many hours of satisfactory operation.

Failure modes in capacitors

Capacitors are at risk of damage in transit or even in storage, well before they are implemented in a design. If a capacitor becomes damaged, either externally or internally, there is a good chance that it will fail. When
