ABSTRACT

The printed circuit board (PCB) subject to vibration and thermal loading is of great interest as Vibration and thermal loadings can lead to an operating mode violation of the electronic equipment, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and electronic components failure. Since these boards are used in aircraft application they have to be designed as per MIL-STD-810F. This study mainly focusses on verification of the PCB to satisfy the specified standards. The soldering effect and vias are ignored considering input data complexity and a set of real PCB along with components and casing has been exposed to random vibration and peak temperature conditions. The major difficulty with PCB vibration response prediction is caused by influence of electronic components, as the components effectively increase the mass and stiffness of the PCB. This work developed a methodology of PCB vibration analysis using simplified finite element models. Electronic components are continuously getting smaller and embedding more and more powered functions which exacerbate the temperature rise in component board interconnect areas. For still air conditions, the heat spreading of the board is mainly done through the metallic planes. Their design optimization is henceforth mandatory to control the temperature and to preserve component reliability. To allow the electronic designer to early analyze the limits of the heat dissipation of miniaturized devices, a CAD model of a multi-layered electronic board was established then the thermal behavior comparison of a detailed multi-layer representation to its deducted compact model for an extensive set of variable parameters, such as heat transfer coefficients, effective thermal conductivities, number of trace layers, trace coverage. The results highlight the vibration response of the board with corresponding fixtures and the areas of maximum temperature distribution which enables the designer to optimize the complete module.
