Once assembled, PCB’s should be protected from handling, moisture, static and human interaction. Here are a few ways to extend the life of your stored printed circuit boards.
It’s not always easy choosing a printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer, but your patience and careful research will pay off. The right PCB manufacturer will provide you with a quality product that is made from durable materials. But even if you get the best PCB on the market, it still won’t last forever.
On average, PCBs get about 50-70 years of use, under the right conditions. Be sure to follow all of the manufacturer’s recommendations that are included in their terms of use. Let’s learn more about the factors that impact the shelf life of assembled PCBs and how you can make yours last longer.
What Impacts the Shelf Life of Assembled PCBs?
You rely on quality PCBs for your products. If the PCB stops working, your product will, too. Here are the main factors that affect the lifespan of your PCBs.
As you can see, getting your PCBs to last longer requires a team effort. You must choose a reliable PCB manufacturer that uses high quality components, and you must provide the boards with the appropriate storage conditions.
