Abstract
Cover thickness influence to the vibration of multilayer ceramic capacitor was analyzed in this study. The results can be helpfully taken to the capacitor design for vibration reduction. 3-D detailed simulation model based on the finite element method was constructed for parametric study and it was verified through the vibration tests. Parametric study with respect to the cover thickness shows that thickening the L cover and W cover increase the vibration amplitude of top surface and decrease the head and side surface. On the other hand, T cover was not related to the vibration amplitude of MLCC.
