[0046] (a) Before the test, the test parameters are set (as shown in Table 1), and the test is carried out under the standard atmospheric conditions of the test.

The data of the double L structure is much smaller than that of the single L structure, so the vibration resistance of the double L structure is stronger than that of the single L structure.

[0056] The application limits the structure of the ceramic capacitor, and the two frames 4 arranged symmetrically are welded to each other as supports 1 by solder, so that the welding area of the prepared support 1 and the PCB board is doubled, the welding strength of the prepared ceramic capacitor is improved, the bonding strength of the ceramic capacitor and the PCB board is better, and compared with the single frame ceramic capacitor, the ceramic capacitor can withstand higher strength vibration, improve the reliability of the product, and can be applied to high reliability occasions such as aerospace.
