Method for screening early failure of ceramic capacitor

摘要

A method of screening ceramic capacitors. The method includes the steps of: charging the ceramic capacitors by applying a constant d.c. voltage which is larger than the rated voltage and smaller than the breakdown voltage; and leaving the charged ceramic capacitor in a temperature around the maximum working temperature for a specific period of time with both terminals of each ceramic capacitor opened electrically; and eliminating defective capacitors whose residual voltage values are smaller than a specific voltage value.
