Embodiment Construction

[0015] overview

[0016] In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a first printed circuit board (PCB) including a first interface and a corrosion sensor assembly. The corrosion sensor assembly includes a second interface arranged to be coupled to the first interface, the corrosion sensor assembly further includes a signal trace area and a plurality of components, wherein the signal trace area and the plurality of components are arranged to provide An indication of whether or not the device is in a corrosive environment, or the potential risk to which the device is exposed due to the corrosive environment.

[0017] Detailed description

[0018] Unfavorable environmental factors can result in reduced performance and a shortened lifespan of the equipment. Exposure of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electrical equipment to corrosive environmental elements (eg, moisture) may cause components of the PCB (eg, copper traces) to corrode over time. Metal corrosion occurs when me...

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to monitoring environments in which electrical equipment is used or otherwise located. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a sensor assembly that allows monitoring of the environment in which electrical equipment is located to determine the presence and / or severity of a corrosive environment. Background technique [0002] The environment of networking and telecommunications equipment (or, more generally, electrical equipment) is often not conducive to the long-term operation and useful life of the equipment. For example, equipment can be exposed to adverse environmental factors throughout its service life. Such adverse environmental factors may include, but are not limited to, extremes in temperature and humidity, airborne particulate matter, chemical pollutants, and other pollutants. [0003] Unfavorable environmental factors can result in reduced performance and a shortened lifespan of the e...
