The reason why the ceramic capacitor is short-circuited

Ceramic capacitors are commonly used in high-stability oscillator circuits as loops, bypass capacitors, and pad capacitors. Today's editor saw that the netizen asked why my ceramic capacitor will be short-circuited. This article is a simple explanation for everyone.

A short circuit condition occurs in the ceramic capacitor, which is a phenomenon of damage of the capacitor. The reason for this is that when the voltage across the capacitor exceeds the withstand voltage of the ceramic capacitor, it will be broken down, causing a short circuit. Or it is easy to be broken down and short-circuited due to aging.

In daily operation, you should understand the rules for the use of ceramic capacitors and the method of storage. The damaged ceramic capacitors should be replaced immediately to avoid other capacitors.
