Circuitry for space probes, avionics and down-hole data logging must perform flawlessly under harsh conditions, including high vibration and extreme temperature changes.
Even a failure of a minor component can negatively impact—or stop—the performance of the entire device.
For instance, satellites have failed due to resistor malfunction.
From pharmaceutical to oil and petrochemical industries and more, process control applications rely in large part on the wellknown physical variables of temperature and pressure. To ensure that a chemical batch doesn’t exceed a certain setpoint, accuracy and reliability are key. Important components.
The railway applications are a difficult environment for sensitive electronic sensor. If you want to detect an open/closing of doors or the properengagement and looking of the mechanicalcoupler between units of a train set you are forced to find a solution which has to work under extreme temperature conditions.
