Ceramic capacitors are the most widely used passive component in the electronic circuit. MLCCs are composed of dielectric layers, inner electrodes, and outer terminal electrodes. Some MCLL designs add Flexible Terminations to improve the performance of the device.

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.

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.

The type and amount of capacitors to be used mainly depend on the operating conditions of the power supply. Selecting suitable filtering capacitors helps to maximize the reliability of an SMPS.
