1. Does the orientation of ceramic capacitors matter?
Ceramic capacitors are non-polar, so the mounting orientation does not affect their function.
-
2. How do I know if my ceramic capacitor is bad?
Visual inspection: Check for cracks, bulges, or other physical damage.
Multimeter test: Measure the capacitance value to see if it is close to the nominal value, and check for shorts or opens. -
3. Why do ceramic capacitors make noise?
Some types of ceramic capacitors (particularly Class 2 ceramic capacitors) produce micro-vibrations when the voltage changes due to their material properties, which in turn cause faint mechanical noise.
-
4. Do ceramic capacitors have a shelf life?
Ceramic capacitors themselves do not have a strict shelf life, but after long-term storage, testing is recommended to confirm their performance.
