Vibration and Shock Resistance	Built to endure constant vibrations and shocks associated with vehicle movement.	Typically not engineered with the same level of vibration and shock resistance.
EMI/RFI Shielding	Require effective shielding to protect sensitive electronics from electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.	May not have the same level of EMI/RFI shielding.
Compliance with Automotive Standards	Must adhere to specific automotive safety and quality standards.	May not be subject to the same automotive industry standards.

 

 

Temperature Extremes The automotive industry faces temperature challenges from high under-hood temperatures in internal combustion engine vehicles to extreme cold in electric vehicles.

Design Solution: Select materials with high glass transition temperature (Tg) values for stability. Implement thermal vias for heat dissipation, especially around power components. Use thermal simulations and conduct thermal cycling tests to validate performance.

Vibration and Mechanical Stress Vehicles experience various vibrations and mechanical stress, which can lead to solder joint fatigue and other mechanical failures.

Design Solution: Secure components with shock mounts and grommets. Use vibration-resistant materials and reinforce PCB structures for durability. Conduct comprehensive shock and vibration testing to ensure PCB can withstand automotive conditions.

Moisture, Chemical, and Contaminant Resistance PCBs in vehicles face moisture, chemicals, and contaminants from road conditions, weather, and maintenance chemicals.

Design Solution: Use conformal coatings, gaskets, and seals. Select materials with strong chemical resistance. Implement drainage and venting strategies to prevent moisture accumulation. Consider ingress protection (IP) rating in enclosure design.

 

 

Certain industries require specific certifications for PCB manufacturers. For automotive PCBs, IATF 16949 certification is essential.

IATF 16949 is the automotive industry quality management system standard published by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF). It encompasses quality management, design and development, production, safety, and more, aimed at standardizing and improving quality management systems for automotive manufacturers and suppliers.

 

 

We understand the critical importance of IATF 16949 in the automotive electronics industry and are fully committed to adhering to this standard. Our commitment includes:

Quality Assurance: Every step of automotive PCBA production adheres to IATF 16949 standards.
