Understanding "Hi-Rel" Microelectronics

Previous

Countless types of electronic products are made, but most share one thing - they are designed to be made in huge volumes, easily and at lowest cost.

"Hi-Rel" or High Reliability products are different. They are made for aerospace, defense, telecommunications networks, MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and implanted medical applications where performance and longevity are more important than price. Their manufacture involves complex assemblies with large numbers of connections packed into the smallest possible space, along with exhaustive testing and documentation. Often they are hermetically sealed in gold-plated metal cases (such as the demo versions at right) filled with non-corrosive nitrogen gas. All this makes Hi-Rel products too costly to scrap.
