Electronics in this sector have to achieve product lifetimes of 10+ years under partially harsh environmental conditions. But the reliability of electronics is also becoming more important in other fields. For example, end customers now keep consumer products longer, so a certain longevity is also expected in this area - albeit less strictly than in the automotive and industrial sectors. To achieve this reliability, it must be ensured that a system continues to fulfill the required performance even after a specific operating period. If electronic circuits and systems are operated for longer periods, they have to be replaced less often, which in turn supports the general trend towards greater sustainability.en621004blog post
