ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. – High-voltage multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) can experience field failures that are instantaneous and catastrophic. The initiator of the failure very often is an ...
High voltage capacitors are passive electronic components that store charge and energy for use in high voltage applications. They consist of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material ...
Within the body of a high-voltage multi-layer ceramic capacitor, a gap-type defect is beginning its career of destruction. The defect may be a void within the ceramic dielectric, a crack within the ...
