Our industrial and rugged designs are perfect for consumer, industrial, defence and aerospace applications. We take key product considerations like styling and appearance, ruggedization, and environmental and safety standards into account to create the perfect solution for your needs. Rugged systems are designed to withstand tough conditions. They are constructed to prevent failure under difficult operating conditions, like excessive temperatures, moisture and high/low pressure. Ruggedization is a process that strengthens a system to make it resistant to harsh environments, like excessive temperatures, moisture and high/low pressure, mechanical vibration or shock, electrical discharge at high voltage/current and particle matter such as dust. Rugged system design must take the harsh environment into account from the beginning of the design process. To ensure that components can withstand the rigors of the environment, great care must be given to their selection, as well as to the design of the circuits and printed circuit boards. Thermal solutions, enclosures, and mechanical designs must also be carefully considered, as must the manufacturing process.
