We all know that ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) ruins, or can seriously damage electronic circuits, cards, components and/or assemblies. However, we do not always give enough credit to the impact that corrosion has on creating failures or walking wounded electronics.
Look under the hood of an automobile and what you see might overwhelm you. Simultaneously, dozens of parts -- each with a specific function and purpose, working in unison towards a common goal. In truth, there’s something marvelous about it! So, how do oil-free and reduced packaging initiatives apply?
In brief -- CORROSION is a scientific process, plaguing industries and destroying items of value. As a result, it causes headaches, stress and financial losses. To that end, erosion protection and other preventive measures are obviously a necesity in order to minimize such deterioration.
