KEY POINTS AT A GLANCE
DIN EN IEC 60068-2-64
DIN EN IEC 60068-2-64 specifies test methods for broadband random vibrations, such as those encountered in real-world operation due to road traffic, rail transport, aviation, shipping or industrial applications.Sie ist eine der wichtigsten Normen zur Prüfung der mechanischen Belastbarkeit von Batterien, Elektronik und kompletten Baugruppen unter realitätsnahen Vibrationsbedingungen.
Significance of DIN EN IEC 60068-2-64
Random vibrations can:
-
Solder joints become fatigued
-
Loosen the connectors
-
Damage to printed circuit boards
-
Applying mechanical stress to battery cells
-
Subject the housing and fixings to continuous stress
-
Causing material fatigue over long periods of operation
The standard ensures that products continue to function reliably even under complex and random vibration loads.
