Electrical Behaviour of MLCC Type 2 Capacitors Under Mechanical Quasi-Static Stress

Abstract

This paper presents a study on the behaviour of a type 2 multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in different mechanical loading conditions. The capacitor is analysed under quasi-static stress and at mechanical resonant frequency. The electrical parameters were recorded during the stress application and analysed with respect to the load. The study aims to provide insight into the impact of mounting position and quasi-static stress level on the performance of MLCCs and set the stage for future analysis of type 2 MLCCs. Additionally, the paper presents the behaviour of the MLCC electrical parameters under mechanical resonance conditions.
