Preventing electronic failures due to surface contamination

In critical electronic systems, even small surface contaminants can cause:

  • Electrical drift
  • Intermittent short circuits
  • Loss of performance or accuracy drift
  • Premature component failure

These contaminants can originate from manufacturing residues, fluxes, adhesives, surface treatments, or the operating environment.
