Soldering And Handling Recommendations For Large Size MLC Capacitors

Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC) come in a broad range of sizes, geometries, and values, offering design engineers with many options for designing circuits. In many cases these MLCC's offer advantages over other types of capacitors including low ESR/ESL, mechanical robustness, high temperature capabilities, lack of polarity, and ability to withstand high levels of dv/dt. MLCC's must be handled carefully to prevent damage and for larger sizes (>2220 size) are susceptible to thermal shock damage during solder attachment if proper precautions are not taken. Using common sense and some simple rules, thermal and mechanical damage can be avoided.
