Transportation electronics, including automotive PCBs, must meet Intrinsically Safe (IS) standards to ensure safe operation in hazardous environments by preventing internal sparks, overheating, and short-circuiting. PCB remanufacturing, aftermarket services, and rigorous testing are just some of the services that automotive PCB manufacturers like Matric stand by.
Whether it's integrated GPS, weather monitoring software, or lane keep assist, most of us put our lives in the hands of automotive electronics.
Automotive PCBs are integrated into electronics that meet Intrinsically Safe (IS) standards. IS products allow for safe operation in hazardous environments by limiting the amount of electrical and thermal energy available for ignition.
Put simply, intrinsically safe products don't require enough electricity and don't produce enough heat to ignite while in use.
Electronics that meet intrinsically safe standards will prevent:
As automotive PCB assembly advances, the increase in technological integrations means more breakdowns and shutdowns. Some systems even 5 to 10 years old can be rendered obsolete as more modern and advanced technology is adopted. The construction of automotive PCBs must adjust to consider these situations and adapt as necessary.
As integrated components become outdated and break down, remanufacturing is a cost-effective solution for companies that may not have the funding or time for an entire overhaul project.
Remanufacturers find creative ways to bring existing boards back to life.
Aftermarket services, much like remanufacturing, allow automotive PCB manufacturers to preserve current equipment while saving on costly redesigns. Aftermarket services include:
Your aftermarket services provider should keep your PCBs clear of dust and grime in order to reduce the risk of fire.
Routine testing and inspection services can help prevent machinery malfunction and full system or line breakdowns.
Skilled technicians are able to service electronic products down to the component level using through-holes or simultaneous multi-threading.
To avoid obsolescence and potential incompatibility risks, aftermarket services providers keep extensive logs of all changes and updates made to your equipment. This ensures pinpoint accuracy when trouble shooting for problems.
Matric has won awards for maintaining on-time delivery. The award qualifications include:
