When designing printed circuit boards (PCBs), keep in mind the major causes of electronic failure: thermal cycling, vibration, and mechanical shock and drop. You can perform a variety of physical ...

When a design engineer considers the different harsh environmental conditions a product may encounter, vibration and shock may not immediately come to mind. However, vibration can be a major source of ...

Random vibration testing provides energy simultaneously at all frequencies. Vibration testing can help ensure that your new design will survive its intended environment. The problem is knowing how ...

Printed-circuit-board quality challenges extend from design through production test and inspection and on to field diagnostics. Meny Gantz, VP of marketing for Orbotech’s PCB division, cited some key ...

Flying probe testing (FPT) has long been a reliable method for validating PCB designs, particularly for prototypes and low volume production. Unlike traditional in circuit testing (ICT), which relies ...

Designed to overcome the high-temperature testing challenges associated with noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) powertrain and vehicle underhood testing, the Automotive Sensors division of PCB ...
