There are several factors that can affect solid state lighting in electronic design from stress issues, to packaging-related issues to component-related issues. Design engineers must take these ...

Computers have to be kept in a specific environment to function efficiently. Conditions such as heat, cold, dust and excessive humidity all can damage and lessen the performance of a computer.

For both active and passive devices, the negative of effects of thermal shock can be as detrimental as steady-state operation at extended temperatures. Ensuring system ruggedness and long-term ...

Historically, component temperature has been correlated with reliability, with early studies relating field failure rates to steady-state component temperature. More recently, physics-based ...

Corrosion protection for avionic and electronic components involves a combination of design and maintenance considerations and practices. Environmental testing helps to assess the performance of ...

Power protection is like insurance: You pay for it, yet hope you don’t need it. But it’s not a simple “purchase.” The first protection question is, “What am I seeking to protect and against what event ...
