The relationship between failure analysis/fault isolation and improvements in reliability and maintainability of electronic hardware is discussed. How failure analysis is an essential part of improving electronic hardware integrity and system life is examined. Three studies are presented as examples of how recommendations determined by failure investigations can eliminate recurring problems in hardware and can increase system reliability. The discussion covers manufacturing improvements: on gimbal potentiometers, on two types of electronic hybrid modules, and on HEXFET technology power transistors.
