7. 2004 MAPLD International Conference 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-of- the-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. Conference Scope, History and Lessons Learned 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.
