Strain and Strain Rate Measurement on Printed Circuit Boards

In our daily life, we must trust the reliability of electronic components – such as PCBs – integrated in cars, smartphones, aircraft, and countless other devices. The reliability of complex electronics and overall electrical systems is a result of experienced development and intensive testing.

International associations such as IPC (Association Connecting Electronics Industries) and JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) – 9704 were founded to develop global guidelines describing where, how and by what method strain measurements should be performed on PCBs.

Find out how to qualify your PCBs with HBK strain gauges and DAQ products in compliance with IPC/JEDEC 9704 guidelines.
