exida component reliability handbooks available

exida has announced that its Component Reliability Database (CRD) Handbook is now available to purchase on its web store.

The Component Reliability Database (CRD) handbook set provides the engineering community with a comprehensive set of component failure rate, failure mode and useful life data. The datasets have been derived for many engineering applications and provide all the data needed for a realistic FMEDA prediction, a device failure rate prediction method which requires a full set of data. This is the sixth edition published in 2023 in a three-volume set (Mechanical, Electrical, Electrical Sensor).

The datasets are provided for individual components for electrical (resistors, capacitors, FETs, microcomputer ICs, etc), mechanical (springs, seals, diaphragms, bearings, structural members, etc) and sensor (electrochemical, catalytic bead, RTD, strain gauge, scintillator, etc). A listing of part types and sample data pages is available.

Founded in 2000 by reliability and safety experts, exida is the world’s best known product certification and knowledge company specialising in automation system safety, alarm management, cybersecurity and availability.

The three volumes of the handbook can be purchased online.
