Tampered Part
|
(1) A counterfeit part type.
See: Recycled Part, Remarked Part, Overproduced Part, Out-of-spec Part, Cloned Part
Note: “Tampering can be done during any phase of the life cycle of a component. It can either be on the die level (“hardware Trojan”) or package level. Such components can either act as a silicon time bomb where the device can behave differently under certain conditions or act as a backdoor where secret information from the chip can be sent out to an adversary. In both cases, the chip behaves outside of its specification, and thus we have included such ICs as counterfeit parts. A detailed taxonomy for tampering a device by hardware Trojans can be found in.”

Temperature Cycling
Thermal Cycle Testing
|
This test is conducted to determine the ability of components and solder interconnects to withstand mechanical stresses induced by alternating high- and low-temperature extremes. Permanent changes in electrical and/or physical characteristics can result from these mechanical stresses. |

Third-Party Logistics Providers
3PL
|
A firm that provides outsourced or "third party" logistics (3PL) services to companies for supply chain management functions.
NOTE: A 3PL Provider typically specializes in integrated operation(s), warehousing, and transportation services that can be scaled and customized to a Customer’s needs based on market conditions and the demands and delivery service requirements for its products.

Tin Whiskers
|
“Whiskers”, first identified in electroplated cadmium components during the late 1940’s, appear to essentially be an extrusion, or hairlike growth emanating from the surface of the tin plate. They can sometimes grow long enough to cause a short circuit between leads, or may break off and cause damage elsewhere in the device. It is generally agreed that pure tin finishes (and other high-tin content lead-free alloy finishes) present a risk of tin-whisker failures in electronics, particularly those demanding high reliability. |
