Testing Function
Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC) are ubiquitous in automotive electronics, 5G communications, and aerospace power modules, demanding rigorous verification under high temperatures, frequencies, and DC bias fields. Our MLCC Characterization Solution evaluates full electrical metrics—including capacitance, dissipation factor, Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), insulation resistance down to 0.1 pA leakage, high-voltage breakdown, DC bias capacitance degradation (Cp-V), and long-term thermal cycling reliability.
