CRITICALITY OF DESIGN AND TESTING OF  HIGH POWER PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS

Objectives

This study compares design and test methods which are common in the space industry and investigates if they are suitable for high voltage / high power PCBs.

It provides recommendations for future tests as well as PCBs designs and build-ups.

Challenges

–       Finding PCB designs representative for certain space applications.

–       Choosing / adapting existing electrical test methods to meet the requirements.

Plan

The activity includes two evaluation campaigns each analyzing different stack-ups, materials, manufacturers and environmental conditions.

Current Status

Activity is completed.
