Corrosion on electronic and power electronic devices is one of the major effects, which negatively affect the reliability of the respective device. The ZESTRON experience from over many years of failure analysis and risk assessment in this area reveals that in power electrics especially the anodic migration phenomenon (AMP) is the corrosion mechanism most often found under high voltage conditions in combination with high humidity load.
