Encyclopedia of component selection specifications

Time:2018-03-27

Therefore, the correct and effective selection and use of electronic components is an important task to improve the reliability of electronic products. The reliability of electronic components is divided into inherent reliability and use reliability. The inherent reliability is mainly guaranteed by design and manufacturing work, which is the task of the component manufacturer.


However, failure analysis data at home and abroad shows that nearly half of the component failures are not due to the inherent low reliability of the components, but due to the improper selection or incorrect use of the components by the user. Therefore, in order to ensure the reliability of electronic products, the selection and application of electronic components must be strictly controlled.
