Re: Effects of Electrical Components Dropping

The largest thing you have to worry about with electronics and high-g situations isn't really the components themselves, but board deflection - it's a good way to break solder joints and traces. Mounting your stuff on a nice, stiff backplate with vibration-dampening mounts with many points of contact between the board and the support structure will go a long way towards preventing accidental breakage.

Luck,

Sparks

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
