Harris Semiconductor published a paper on the web about reliability considerations for using PEMs in military applications. It had some reliability test results for components. You can access this report as well as others at http://rel.semi.harris.com/ I am trying to determine the best way to package VME boards populated with PEM components for long term storage (>15 years). Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim Baker General Dynamics Defense Systems 413-494-7152 ______________________________ Reply Separator_______________________ Subject: plastic package hermeticity Author: [log in to unmask] at MAILHUB-SMTP Date: 1/24/97 8:48 PM We are looking for literature on reliability issues and failure modes of plastic packages (non-hermetic). Can you steer us toward any IPC literature on that issue? Thanks. *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To unsubscribe from this list at any time, send a message to: * * [log in to unmask] with <subject: unsubscribe> and no text. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * ***************************************************************************
