Environmental Requirements

Design, including materials, shall be consistent with the manufacture of units that meet
the following environmental reference points.
The reliability targets in this section are based on the expected field use environment
for these products. The test sequence for new sockets will be developed using the
knowledge-based reliability evaluation methodology, which is acceleration factor
dependent. A simplified process flow of this methodology can be seen in
Figure 5-2.
