ESD is a huge deal with passive component too, and honestly even with components that you never thought could fail in the past like resistors, lately.
Obviously an instrument that is never going to be serviceable deserves the best components and handling, but they will fail eventually and you either have a redundant circuit or another fallback.
- breput 5y agoI guess my only point was that I've seen both approaches - you either over-spec the components and when it doesn't fail like you think the spec was the secret, or you design for unreliable parts and when they don't fail as expected, you look like a genius.
