An FMEDA done with a complete component database will allow designers to take credit for good design. Design decisions including EMC/surge protection, de-rating of component parameters, heat sinks, PC board coating, physical protection, surface finish on moving parts, etc. will reduce the component failure rates and often increase Useful Life. This webinar will explain the fundamental stress-strength concepts and give examples of the exida Component Reliability Database (CRD) and how the failure rates change when design strength choices are made.
