Conference Scope, History and Lessons Learned
58. Lesson: New Electronic Components
Avoid the use of new electronic techniques and components in
critical subsystems unless their use is absolutely mandatory.
Background:
New electronic components (resistors, diodes, transistors,
switches, etc.) are developed each year. Most push the state-ofthe-art and contain new fabrication processes. Designers of
systems are eager to use them since they each have advantages
over more conventional components. However, being new, they
are untried and generally have unknown characteristics and
idiosynchracies. Let some other program discover the problems.
Do not use components which have not been previously used in
a similar application if it can be avoided, even at the expense of
size and weight.
From SKYLAB LESSONS LEARNED AS APPLICABLE TO A LARGE SPACE STATION, A dissertation submitted
to the faculty of The School of Engineering and Architecture Of the Catholic University of America For the Degree Doctor
of Engineering by William C. Schneider, Washington, D.C., 1976.
