Derating Electronic Components Below Rated Limits
Derating applies parts at a defined fraction of their rated voltage, current, power and temperature so the stress distribution sits well clear of the strength distribution. It is the cheapest reliability lever in electronics and, under Willoughby, the one the Navy made a written policy rather than a designer's preference.
This Concept is waiting for its first lesson!
