Access Reliability Data Instantly to Optimize Your Designs

When designing power electronics, reliability is one of the most critical factors engineers and manufacturers must consider. Ensuring electronic components perform consistently in demanding environments is essential for creating robust, high-quality systems for diverse industries.

To help customers evaluate the reliability of our products, we’re proud to introduce our reliability FIT calculator, a powerful tool for simplifying data analysis.

What is the FIT Calculator?

Our Failures in Time (FIT) calculator is an online tool that allows you to access the most recent reliability data for MCC’s advanced products. FIT and Mean Time Between Failures (MBTF) rates are two key metrics that help engineers determine the reliability of a component. 

Simply enter one of our part numbers into the FIT calculator for up-to-date reliability data collected through MCC’s comprehensive Reliability Audit Program and rigorous stress testing during standard product qualification processes.

Key features:

• Easy to Use: Our calculator is intuitive and user-friendly, with quick access to the reliability data as soon as you enter the MCC part number.
• Accurate, Up-to-Date Data: Find the latest data available to inform your design decisions backed by ongoing stress testing and periodic updates.
• Transparent Disclaimer: This FIT calculator is an excellent resource for reliability data, but it’s important to note that these FIT rates are not compliant with functional safety standards (such as ISO26262). For applications requiring safety-critical certifications, raw FIT rates should be calculated using generic safety standards, such as IEC62380 or SN29500.

Why Reliability Data Matters in Electronics Design

Whether you’re developing automotive systems, industrial equipment, or consumer electronics, reliability data is crucial for ensuring components meet application-specific requirements. Both FIT and MTBF rates can help engineers and manufacturers:

• Predict failure rates
• Mitigate risks
• Select the appropriate component for the design and application
• Enhance product quality and longevity

FIT - Failures in Time measures the number of failures a component is expected to have throughout 1 billion device-hours of operation.

MTBF - Mean Time Between Failures provides an average engineers can use to determine the estimated service life of a component based on the total time of operation and the number of failures that took place during that timeframe. 

How to Get Started with MCC’s FIT Calculator
