TDK Components describes how to handle chip capacitors to avoid cracking. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are very brittle components, and can be damaged if proper care isn’t taken. [via]
Multilayer ceramic capacitors should be handled very carefully during mounting, soldering, and handling. Any damage incurred during these processes, no matter how small, can contribute to premature component failure. Handling a PCB with soldered components should be done with care to avoid any bending of the board. If steps outlined in this paper are followed, MLCC cracking can be avoided successfully.
