Ripple current and its effects on the performance of capacitors

Heating in ceramic capacitors can cause thermal gradients. These thermal gradients can cause cracking. To prevent cracking, the maximum temperature rise in ceramic capacitors is usually limited to 50C. Unlike aluminum and tantalum capacitors, ceramic capacitors are not prone to negative ripple voltage pulse problem.
