Milledgeville, GA — TopLine has been granted an exclusive worldwide license by NASA for “Particle Damping for Vibration Mitigation for Circuit Cards.” The NASA invention
attenuate destructive vibratory forces to reduce damage in PCBAs. This innovation extends the life of the assembly, including IC packages that operate under harsh environ- mental conditions,
including
thermal stress and vibration. The PID is mounted near
the geometric center of the PCB where vibratory forces are the greatest. The kinetic energy is transferred to the PID to damp- en vibration in the circuit as - sem bly. PID provides better reduction in vibration than alternative methods, such as adding heavy metal supports, bumpers or increasing the thick- ness of the PCB. PIDs are commercially-
Particle damping anti-vibration device for PCBAs.
U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 14/196,203 describes a vibration damping device for circuit card assemblies. The invention pertains to the use of particle impact dampers (PIDs), to attenuate destructive vibrations in PCB assemblies. Usage includes PCB assemblies in all fields. NASA Marshall Space Flight Center invented the novel way to
available COTS components. Mounting methods include sur- face mount soldering, snap-in
through-hole, screw mounting, and epoxy mounting with permanent
adhesives. Contact: TopLine Corp., 95
