FAQ

The capacitance of a capacitor changes depending on the DC voltage applied. Select a capacitor considering the DC voltage characteristics of the DC circuit in which the capacitor is used. The capacitance of ceramic capacitors might change sharply depending on the applied voltage. (See figure)

Confirm the followings in order to ensure desired capacitance.

Confirm whether the capacitance change according to the applied voltage is within an allowable range or not.
Regarding DC voltage characteristics, capacitance decreases as voltage increases, even if the applied voltage is below the rated voltage. Therefore, when a capacitor is used in a circuit with a narrow range of capacitance change allowance like a time constant circuit, it is recommended that the capacitance is within the allowable range under operating voltage.

The soldering conditions (preheating temperature, soldering temperature and their durations) shall be within　the limits in the catalogs or product specifications.

When the capacitors are used exceeding the limits given in the catalogs or product specifications, cracks may occur in the capacitors and the reliability may deteriorate, especially the rapid temperature changes and partial heating during soldering may cause cracks.

Generally recommended temperature conditions for reflow soldering is as follows:

When the capacitors are soldered under long duration or high temperature, the dissolution of electrode (leaching), deterioration of adhesion (shear strength) and capacitance decrease may occur.

Take into consideration tombstone phenomenon (also called "Manhattan phenomenon") for 3216M size or smaller capacitors when the soldering is not proper.

The tombstone phenomenon can be avoided by taking the following measures:

- reducing land dimensions
- applying adequate preheating
- optimizing solder amount
- ensuring accurate placement

- providing equal heating to both terminations during soldering

Voltage which is applied to the capacitor should not exceed the rated voltage given in the specifications.
When AC voltage is superimposed on DC voltage, the zero-to-peak voltage shall not exceed the rated voltage.
When AC voltage or pulse voltage is applied, the peak-to-peak voltage shall not exceed the rated voltage.

Applying overvoltage to a capacitor may cause dielectric breakdown and result in a short circuit.

The duration until dielectric breakdown depends on the applied voltage and the ambient temperature. Abnormal voltage (surge voltage, static electricity, pulse voltage, etc.)shall not exceed the rated voltage. When pulse voltage with a very short rising time or AC voltage of a high frequency is applied to capacitors, even though the voltage is less than or equal to the rated voltage, the reliability of the capacitor may be influenced.

Heat stress during rework may possibly be reduced by using a spot heater (also called a "blower") rather than a soldering iron.

General Instruction

When capacitors are reworked using soldering irons beyond the limits stated in the catalogs or product specifications, cracks may occur in the capacitors due to thermal stress and insulation resistance may deteriorate.
When lead-free solder which has a higher melting point (liquid phase temperature of over 200 °C) is used, the risk of cracks is higher due to the larger thermal stress in the capacitor induced if rapid cooling or heating and partial heating occur during reworking.
Do not touch the tip of a soldering iron to the termination electrode of a capacitor.
Reworking using a spot heater may suppress the occurrence of cracks in the capacitor compared to using a soldering iron. A spot heater can heat up a capacitor uniformly with a small heat gradient which leads to lower thermal stress caused by quick heating and cooling or localized heating.
Moreover, where ultra-small capacitors are mounted close together on a printed circuit board, reworking with a spot heater can eliminate the risk of direct contact between the tip of a soldering iron and a capacitor.

Repair Conditions

If the blower nozzle of a spot heater is too close to a capacitor, a crack in the capacitor may occur due to heat stress. Below are recommendations for avoiding such an occurrence.
Keep more than 5 mm between a capacitor and a spot heater nozzle.
The blower temperature of the spot heater shall be lower than 400 °C.
The airflow shall be set as weak as possible.
The diameter of the nozzle is recommended to be 2 mm (one-outlet type). The size is standard and common.
Duration of blowing hot air is recommended to be 10 s or less for 3225M size or smaller capacitors, and 30 s or less for 3216M size or larger capacitors, considering surface area of the capacitor and melting temperature of solder.
The angle between the nozzle and the capacitor is recommended to be 45 degrees in order to work easily and to avoid partial area heating.
As is the case when using a soldering iron, preheating reduces thermal stress on capacitors and improves operating efficiency.

High dielectric constant ceramic material, when left in room temperature without any bias, has tendency to decrease its capacitance almost linearly to logarithmic time. This phenomenon is caused by the dielectric ceramics to transfer to more stable phase, and these are inevitable characteristics. Therefore, it is suggested to consider the capacitance change with time when using capacitors in circuits such as time constant circuit.

Most ceramic dielectrics used for ceramic capacitors have ferroelectric characteristics, and exhibit a curie temperature. Above this temperature, the dielectrics have a highly symmetric cubic crystal structure whereas below the curie temperature, the crystal structure is less symmetrical. Although in single crystals this phase transition is very sharp, in practical ceramics it is often spread over a finite temperature range. In all cases it is linked with a peak in the capacitance/temperature curve.

Under the influence of thermal vibration, the ions in the crystal lattice continue to move to positions of lower potential energy for a long time after the dielectric has cooled down below the curie temperature. This makes capacitance aging, whereby a capacitor's capacitance continually decreases. (Line A in the below graph) However, if the capacitor is heated to a temperature above the curie temperature, de-aging takes place and the capacitance lost through aging is regained. (B point in the below graph) The aging recommences when the capacitor cools down below its curie temperature. (Line C in the below graph)

This is a phenomenon of shifting to a lower energy state by which the ceramic dielectric becomes more stable.Therefore, take capacitance aging into consideration when using a capacitor with Class 2 or Class 3 ceramic dielectrics for a circuit with a narrow range of allowable capacitance change, such as a time constant circuit.

Since the effects of this aging can be reversed, a dielectric's capacitance can be returned to its original value by subjecting it to a higher temperature than its Curie point, e.g. 125°C for BaTiO3. The phenomena can been noticed immediately after soldering or after reworking/repair with a soldering iron.

Rated capacitance of capacitors can change according to the ambient temperature. Such variance in rated capacitance is defined as temperature dependent characteristics.

Mainly CG and CH type capacitors and titanium oxide and zirconate dielectric ceramics are its main materials. With small variation in capacitance due to temperatures, voltages, and ageing, this type is suitable for applications requiring stability; however, rated capacitances are smaller than high dielectric constant type capacitors.

Mainly X5R, X7R, X7S type capacitors, and barium titanate dielectric ceramics are its main material. Compared with the temperature-compensating type, variation in capacitance is larger due to temperatures, voltages, and ageing; however, this type can be smaller in size to gain high capacitance values.
