Continental Automotive Tests its Product Reliability in a Fraction of Time Before Building Prototype By Tony A. Asghari, Continental Automotive Quality – Reliability Physics Team CASE STUDY /2 Continental Automotive Tests its Product Reliability in a Fraction of Time Before Building Prototype // Suppliers of automotive electronics are adopting state-of-the-art semiconductor technology to increase computational speed and capability and improve the driving experience. This approach requires thermal solutions that leverage conduction through the housing due to the power dissipated by these devices. These printed circuit boards (PCBs) typically connect to the housing through a thermally enhanced adhesive. While this arrangement can be effective, the stresses, which are transmitted in
