Here are some of the latest embedded products to hit the market that can withstand extreme environments, offering resistance to high temperatures, violent vibrations, and other harsh conditions.
Extreme shock and vibration, radiation levels, high temperatures, and other harsh conditions threaten to destroy, or at the very least, reduce the lifespan of embedded systems. To handle those conditions, manufacturers “ruggedize” systems to meet stringent standards and other specifications over and above the needs of normal electronics. Here are some of the latest embedded computers, microcontrollers, sockets and other products that are designed to withstand harsh conditions in industrial, aerospace, defense and other areas.
