Development of MTBF Values:
The most widely known and used reliability prediction handbook is Mil-217. It is used by bothcommercial companies and the defense industry and is accepted and known world-wide. The most recent
revision is “Military Handbook, Reliability Prediction of Electronic Equipment”, MIL-HDBK-217, Revision F,
Notice 2, which was released in February of 1995. It contains failure rate models for numerous electronic
components such as integrated circuits, transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors, relays, switches, andconnectors, to name a few. MIL-217 requires a greater amount data entered the model. It also is a little
harsher in the calculation of failure rate data than the Bellcore standard. Typically, but not always, MIL-217
calculated results will show a higher failure rate than Bellcore standard for the same system. This differencein the standards obviously stems from the original intended use of the MIL-217 standard for aerospace andmilitary, or mission critical applications.
Maintaining reliability and providing reliability engineering is an essential need with modern electronicsystems. Reliability engineering for electronic equipment requires a means for a quantitative baseline, or areliability prediction analysis. The MIL-217 standard was developed for military and aerospace applications;however, it has become widely used for industrial and commercial electronic equipment applications
throughout the world. Using the Mil-217 standard for reliability prediction produces calculated Failure Rateand Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) numbers for the individual components, equipment and the overallsystem. The final calculated prediction results are based on the roll-up, or summation, of all the individualcomponent failure rates.
