Expertise for Complex Failure Mechanisms and Technical Risks
Our expert team supports you with sound decision-making, targeted failure assistance, and the reliable technical assessment of complex issues.
Expertise from Research & PracticeExperts in Reliability and Humidity Robustness in Electronics
ZESTRON’s expert team supports the assurance of reliability and humidity robustness for assembled PCBs and power electronics. This expertise is based on more than 800 customer cases as well as extensive findings from research and industry projects.
The focus is on complex failure mechanisms and reliability risks across different application areas, ranging from contamination and moisture related failures to electrochemical and anodic migration phenomena, as well as critical mechanisms in low and high voltage applications and high frequency related interference effects. Based on this expertise, causes are systematically narrowed down, risks are assessed, and targeted solutions are developed.
