Electrical Materials & Circuit Packaging

Make smarter electrical materials and packaging choices with reliability and performance testing

From small electronic components to large power systems, Exponent assists clients with a variety of challenges in electrical materials and packaging, such as semiconductor materials used in integrated circuits, circuit packaging, and printed circuit boards, and dielectric materials used to insulate and prevent arcing, electric shock, electrocution, or fire.

How can you select the most appropriate electrical materials and packaging for your product or system?

Exponent's electrical engineers and computer scientists give clients the insight they need to make informed electrical materials and packaging decisions. We help identify and test for failure modes using techniques such as thermal stress analysis, accelerated lifetime and environmental stress testing, mechanical stress and drop testing, and electrical breakdown characterization. Exponent also performs materials composition analysis for a variety of concerns, including identifying flame retardants and complex effects of interactions between various packaging components.
