Global component shortage – how to consider reliability when replacing components

This year we have discussed with almost every customer about the difficulty of getting components and the extremely long delivery times they have due to global component shortage. The lack of semiconductors has been a problem for a long time, but lately it seems that...

Why 85/85 test is a wrong test choice for PET (Polyethylene terephthalate)?

If you are considering how to test your product, a combined high humidity and high temperature test is probably one of the tests on your list. It is one of the most common accelerated reliability test methods, especially in electronics. 85/85 test is most likely the...

Unstable resistance – Why flexible electronics should be monitored in real-time during testing

Flexible electronics means applications build with flexible substrates and materials, enabling bending and stretching of the applications. Therefore products which would not be possible with traditional electronics can be accomplished. Application such as wearable and...

Eight steps to reliability testing

Selecting a suitable reliability testing method is not always simple. This guideline helps you to consider the most important aspects of test selection.
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...
