Abstract

Kirk and Fred discuss steps that should be followed when trying to find the location and cause of failures in electronics.

They use examples of from their own experiences with recent failures of appliances and personal computers and how using a systematic approach to investigating failures is the best way to discover the causes of failures.

Key Points

Join Kirk and Fred as they discuss

• Using a systematic investigation for failure analysis and avoiding assumptions
• Understanding the age of equipment and operational conditions before failure help FA
• Failure analysis can be very challenging, but very rewarding when the failure “culprit” is discovered

Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability, where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics.

Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques to field data analysis approaches.
