Do you know in what consists the relifing process?
Relifing process consists in the evaluation of the electronic component reliability when stored for a longer period. Storage of EEE part represents a key process in space electronics activity, In order to cope with projects time schedule on one hand and with economical procurement constraints, on the other hand, parts are often to be stored for quite a long time. Obsolescence issues could require building strategic stock in order to be able to manufacture equipment over a period longer than the product life cycle. Many other factors can lead to the need of using parts that have been stored over a long period, so the aim of this test is to consolidate such components and to validate their usability.
ALTER TECHNOLOGY offers to his customers the most appropiate handlig and storage conditions in order to avoid any damage or contamination of the EEE parts.
- Full control of the conditions of humidity and temperature 24/7 365 days a year (22ºC +/- 3 ºC; 55RH% +/- 10 ºC) preventing the undesirable effects of oxidation or ESD (Electro Static Discharge).
- – Nitrogen storage, it can be directly in a dry cabinet or in MBB (Moisture Barrier Bags) filled with nitrogen, adding desiccant bags and moisture indicators.
- Powerful software, allowing quick access to EEE parts location.
On top of that, ALTER TECHNOLOGY offers to his customers the relifing actiity based on ECSS-Q-ST-60-14C, which allows to validate the usability of the EEEcomponents when the time period from the manufacturing date to the PCB assembly date exceeds a certain number of years.
If by any chance the component is obsolete and you need a replacement, doEEEt gives you the opportunity to find the closest market alternative.
