“Most component failures in a severe vibration environment will be due to cracked solder joints, cracked seals, or broken electrical lead wires.”
Vibration-related Failure • Cause: • Due to stresses from relative motion between component body, electrical lead wires, and the PCB • Solutions: • Tying or cementing component to PCB to eliminate resonance • Proper component placement on rectangular PCB • Attributes • Most severe during resonant conditions • Can develop when component body acts as mass and lead wires act as springs • Most severe conditions at center of PCB • On rectangular PCB, most severe conditions are when component part is parallel to short side of board
