Rugged Electronics

Rugged electronics imply safe and reliable operation of a computer board or system in harsh environments.

The level of ruggedness, the safety requirements and the standards to be applied are very specific and depend largely on the markets where the application is located. Different measures have to be taken and rules have to be applied in design and production to make products work reliably even in hot or cold, dusty or humid, shaking and vibrating environments.

Boards and systems from MEN in general are developed according to these requirements right from the start. Even in the design stage the choice of components and the layout of the board must, for example, take into account the suitability for specific temperature ranges, shock, vibration, chemical influence, the option of coating against humidity, and other requirements.

To achieve the highest quality of the boards, the fully automated production is done in-house and includes traceability. All of this combined guarantees that a perfectly reliable product can be delivered for an operation period of theoretically up to 30 years, if necessary.

Rugged Boards from MEN with...

-40 to +85°C temperature range (qualified)

-40 to +85°C temperature range (screened)

Conduction cooling

Conformal coating by default

Note: Nearly all other MEN boards can also be conformally coated on request.
