Failure Analysis

Root-Cause Failure Analysis

Connected Development’s failure analysis and RMA services deliver precise, expert support for identifying and resolving device failures. While many facilities focus solely on evaluation, our comprehensive failure analysis capabilities go farther: we can identify root causes and guide design improvements to prevent future failures.

Our state-of-the-art labs are fully equipped with the latest technology to make failure analysis fast, reliable, and actionable. Our wide range of on-site capabilities includes material analysis, X-ray inspection, PCB cross-sectioning, environmental testing, and more. Leveraging a highly skilled team and an 8D problem-solving approach, we provide thorough inspection processes that pinpoint the exact failure causes, enabling rapid, effective resolution and informed design enhancements. 

Our Approach to Failure Analysis Includes:

  • X-Ray Imaging

  • High Magnification Imaging with Laser Induced Breakdown

  • Contamination/Residue Assessment

  • Spectroscopy Testing and Analysis

  • Circuit Board Cross Sectioning

  • Vibration Testing

  • Environmental Testing

  • Re-work Capabilities

  • 8D Problem Solving Methodology and Reporting
