Why selecting "fungus-inert" materials on a datasheet isn't enough to protect your hardware:
While an individual plastic or PCB laminate might resist fungus on its own, the finished board tells a different story. Leftover solder flux, handling oils, dust, and adhesive residues left on surfaces create a breeding ground for fungal spores in hot, humid climates.
Once growth starts, it can quickly lead to:
• Drops in insulation resistance and unexpected short circuits
• Severe track corrosion from fungal acids
• Degradation of protective coatings and enclosure seals
• Long-term reliability failures in the field
The solution? Always test the complete, production-grade assembly, not just raw material samples.
BE Analytic Solutions provides fungus testing and environmental qualification to MIL-STD-810 and IEC standards for defence, aerospace, automotive, rail, and industrial electronics.
