What is PD IEC TR 62380 – Reliability data handbook for electronic components about?
PD IEC TR 62380 is an international standard that focuses on a universal model for reliability prediction of electronics components, PCBs, and equipment and reliability data handbook.
PD IEC TR 62380 provides elements to calculate the failure rate of mounted electronic components. It makes equipment reliability optimization studies easier to carry out, thanks to the introduction of influence factors.
Note: PD IEC TR 62380 does not give any part count values, because mission profiles are needed to have credible values.
Who is PD IEC TR 62380 - Reliability data handbook for electronic components?
PD IEC TR 62380 on reliability data handbook for electronics components, PCBs, and equipment, is useful for:
- Electrical engineers
- Electricians and technicians
- Manufacturing unit of electronic components
- Quality control personnel
- Research centres
Why should you use PD IEC TR 62380 - Reliability data handbook for electronic components?
Calculation of a reliability prediction for non-redundant equipment is the very first step in any complete reliability study concerning that equipment, and indeed, of any study of the reliability, availability, or safety of a system.
Reliability predictions are based on numerous assumptions, all of which need to be verified (choice of component family, for example). A reliability study of an item entails not only verifying these assumptions but also optimizing its reliability (qualification of components and mounting processes, minimizing the risk of external failure, etc).
PD IEC TR 62380 is specifically designed as an aid to research into how to maximize equipment reliability and to assist in the design of the equipment, by introducing various influencing factors. A reliability prediction is essential, but no more so than research into the best possible reliability for the least cost.
PD IEC TR 62380 provides you with all the information needed to calculate electronic component and equipped printed circuit board failure rates: failures rates delivered include the influence of component mounting processes.
