Perhaps, users of Habrakhabr have already seen on the network the news about testing the Apacer memory module according to the US military standard, but I would like to pay a little more attention to what lies behind the set of letters and numbers MIL-STD-202G.
The American military standard MIL-STD-202G establishes uniform methods for testing electronic and electrical components, includes basic environmental tests to determine the resistance to the detrimental effects of natural elements and conditions of military operations, physical and electrical tests. The term “component parts” in this standard refers to capacitors, resistors, switches, relays, transformers, inductors, etc. This test only applies to small parts of the device (weighing up to 300 pounds or having a root-mean-square voltage test up to 50,000 volts).
To meet the requirements of the military industry, the Apacer SODIMM memory module must be highly resistant to vibration. Therefore, the module has been tested for vibration resistance indicators provided for by this American standard. These vibration tests involve the determination of the effect of vibration on component parts in the range of prevailing frequencies and quantities that may occur during “field service”. Most vibrations occurring during the operation of military-industrial complex devices are not of a harmonic nature, but tests based on vibrations of this type have proven to be effective in determining critical frequencies, vibration modes, and other data necessary for planning protective measures against the effects of excessive vibration.
This test showed the Apacer SODIMM module resistance to vibration, which means its full suitability for use in military vehicles and other corrosive environments. This module, effective in a wide range of temperatures (-40 ° C ~ 85 ° C), can solve the problem of damage to parts due to vibration. In addition, the module can be actively applied in the medical, transport, aviation industries, automation, etc.
In collaboration with the American company Diamond Systems Corporation (DSC), Apacer introduces this robust SODIMM, which has a “outside-the-box” design (without a case) with an emphasis on device rigidity and durability. Apacer's product supports the SODIMM slot, which eliminates the need to redesign the motherboard for consumers, making it a more stable storage option.
