Which factors affect the reliability of a product?

Several factors affect the reliability of a product or the reasons for its failures searched. In this post we go through some of these factors. 1. Poor design Sometimes the cause for failure may be due to poor design. The error may have occurred for example due to too...

Critical parameters of thermal cycling testing

Thermal cycling testing is a very widely used especially in electronics. It exposes devices and components to fluctuating temperature, which causes fatigue in the components and especially in their interconnections. For example, cracking due to fatigue is one of the...

Why it is important to consider also absolute humidity when choosing humidity test conditions

Humidity testing is one the most commonly used accelerated reliability test methods. This makes sense since high humidity level is a one of the most common reasons to cause failures. Moreover, humidity testing is relatively easy to conduct and equipment for it is...

Soldering in electronics

Soldering is the main technique for forming electrical interconnections. Here is a simple infographic of the main factors related to soldering process!
Overstress vs wear

Overstress vs wear

Failures are caused by various factors. If we forget early failures, a failure can be caused by a overstress or wear. These two...
