We offer the following custom ruggedization services to further enhance our product reliability with the options below. These special services are available by consultation.

Extended temperature operation: Full screening is conducted across the entire rated temperature range of our embedded computer boards prior to shipment to weed out infant mortality and provide additional assurance of performance for discriminating customers. Our test fixtures and software suites exercise the board's features at incremental temperatures and record results for conclusive evidence of the board's reliable performance.

Burn-in testing: Fixed-temperature burn-in of production boards helps reduce infant mortality and provides additional confidence for critical applications. Boards are powered-on and tested during the burn-in cycle to verify proper performance.

Conformal coating: Outdoor or in-vehicle applications can benefit from conformal coating to insulate the board from the effects of moisture and fungus. See Conformal Coating Services for more information.

Hardwired configuration: Configuration jumpers are replaced with hardwired configuration. This eliminates the possibility of configuration jumpers falling out or unauthorized tampering, and helps ensure known-good board configuration. Most of our board designs provide surface mount locations dedicated for this purpose, making the process easy and reliable.

Connector changes: We can install latching connectors in place of standard pin headers to insure reliable operation in high shock and vibration environments. We can also install non-stackthrough connectors instead of stackthrough.

Shock & Vibration testing: We can test our products or systems to a specific shock and vibration specification to assure compliance for your application.

Component staking: We can thoroughly secure a specific component to the PCB through component staking to assure high resistance to shock and vibration.
