Federal Aviation Administration Printed Circuit Board Analysis-Cost Vs. Benefit Study.

Abstract

In arriving at a printed circuit board standard, the factors to be included in the standard must be analyzed. This report defines the trade-offs associated with the item considered for inclusion in the printed circuit board standard. Discussed are the specific details that could be standardized to provide a specification which would ensure that resultant equipments reflect minimized Life Cycle Cost. The areas covered include the types of equipment and systems procured by the FAA; state-of-the-art printed circuit board complexity and potential developments; board size; types of connectors; thermal cooling considerations; backplane wiring systems; testing interface; repair considerations; logistics and reliability.
