Abstract

Kirk and Fred discussing manufacturing thermal specifications of components and how HALT is used to find margins beyond specifications.

Key Points

Join Kirk and Fred as they discuss manufacturers specifications and use conditions, and what constitutes normal use and abuse when in comes to common electronics.
Topics include:

• Positions of USB plug locations on a HP benefits in not being easily unplugged but prevents damage if  stress occurs when cord is yanked on (tripped over).
• There are many different ways manufacturers decide on component specifications that are not necessarily based on its physics or true capabilities
• The application of a component in a circuit and its location is a key factor on how sensitive and how much stress margins dependence the system will have.

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.
