Report prepared by Alexander Teverovsky, ASRC Federal Space and Defense. NASA recently released an extensive 70pages report on low voltage MLCC cracking issues published on nepp.nasa.gov. The report in detail describes the manufacturing process of MLCC types, provide comparative analyses of MIL, NASA vs ESA vs JAXA specifications, explains qualification procedures and cracking risk issues including degradation and failure mechanisms. The final section recommends methods for workmanship and failure detection.

The Capacitance is determined by, among other things, the characteristics of the dielectric material. International standards speak of the Dielectric Constant or permittivity, designated by the symbol ε.

Capacitors can be divided into two main groups: 1) electrostatic, non-polarized and 2) polarized capacitors. Polarized capacitors can be then divided into electrolytic and supercapacitors. See the following chart with more details. The latter is by their construction polarity dependent with one plus terminal and one minus. The electrostatics don’t have this polarity dependence in their dielectric which therefore can be subjected also to alternating voltages.
