Introduction (Excerpt)

The military and aerospace electronics industries are experiencing an ever increasing demand for the use of plastic encapsulated microcircuits and semiconductors. While plastic encapsulated microcircuits and semiconductors offer a number of inherent advantages over hermetically sealed ceramic packages, uncontrolled use can introduce a number of technical risks in military and aerospace equipment applications that are not associated with hermetic packaged devices.

The G-12 Solid State Device Committee of the Government Electronics & Information Technology Association (GEIA) developed guidelines for assessing the suitability of plastic encapsulated microcircuits and semiconductors for use in military, aerospace and other rugged applications. EIA Engineering Bulletin SSB-1, Guidelines for Using Plastic Encapsulated Microcircuits and Semiconductors in Military, Aerospace and Other Rugged Applications provides:
