A Deep Dive into Component Engineering!

kiranmr69
kiranmr69 over 1 year ago

Welcome to the Component Engineering Thread, where we will embark on a journey through the intricate landscape of component engineering.

As a seasoned component engineering specialist based in Bangalore, India, I am thrilled to share my expertise and insights into this fascinating field.

What is component engineering?

Component engineering is the art and science of navigating the vast universe of electronic components. It involves understanding the nuances of selecting the right components, optimizing for Design for Manufacturability (DFM), and ensuring Design for Excellence (DFX) principles are seamlessly integrated into the design process.

What to expect in this thread?

Explore the intricacies of choosing the right components for your project. From resistors to microcontrollers, we'll dissect the key factors that influence decision-making and share practical tips for optimal selection of components and replacement parts.

Why do your inputs matter?

This thread is not a one-way street. I invite you, the element14 community member, to engage, question, and contribute. Your experiences, queries, and insights will enrich the collective knowledge of our community. Together, we'll build a space where learning is collaborative and curiosity is celebrated.

Are there any specific topics of interest?

I am excited to see specific topics that spark your interest in the world of components and to explore them together in future posts. Let's navigate the world of electronic components collaboratively.

    Selecting components to increase product lifespan and repairability. An index based on availability of spare parts could be useful.

    Understanding electronics components has always been important.

    If you do not understand how they work, you can never build a good circuit.

    Do we have any conference that are being held for Component Engineering and can someone point where can I find that information? Thanks for your time

    One of the key organizations to keep an eye on is the IIOM (International Institute of Obsolescence Management). They are actively involved in the engineering and lifecycle management of components, with a strong focus on obsolescence management, which is a major concern in component engineering. IIOM organizes events, workshops, and conferences that are relevant to professionals working in this field.

    Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well! I started this conversation a while ago but had to take a pause for a bit. Now, I’d love to pick up where we left off and hear your thoughts.

    As a quick recap for those who may have missed it earlier: Bill of Materials (BOMs) are at the core of every product design and manufacturing process. As a Component Engineer, the responsibility goes far beyond simply verifying part numbers. We need to ensure that components align with lifecycle expectations, mitigate obsolescence risks, and comply with regulations, all while maintaining design integrity and cost-effectiveness.

    I’m really interested in hearing how other Component Engineers, Design Engineers, Supply Chain Professionals, and Product Managers approach BOM reviews and approvals in your respective roles.

    • What challenges do you encounter in your processes, and how do you overcome them?
    • How do you handle end-of-life (EOL) components in critical designs, or when proposing alternative parts to meet tight timelines?
    • For example, what are your considerations when selecting or recommending a MLCC with a 1812 or 202 size code?

    Additionally, I’ve included a link to my LinkedIn Post : https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7279378978132385792/, where I’ve shared an 18-point checklist that I use to evaluate parts in a BOM. Feel free to take a look and share your thoughts!

    Looking forward, how do you see the role of a Component Engineer evolving within the DfX (Design for Excellence) process? Are there any additional review points you’d suggest to improve the approach? And with AI becoming more prominent, do you think it will play a significant role in transforming the Component Engineering process? How could AI tools help with part reviews, obsolescence predictions, and risk mitigation?

    Looking forward to hearing from all of you!
