Traditionally assessment of reliability of electrical components is done by classical reliability techniques using failure rates as the basic measure of reliability. In this paper a structural reliability approach is applied in order to include all relevant uncertainties and to give a more detailed description of the reliability. A physics of failure approach is applied. A SnAg solder component used in power electronics is used as an example. Crack propagation in the SnAg solder is modeled and a model to assess the accumulated plastic strain is proposed based on a physics of failure approach. Based on the proposed model it is described how to find the accumulated linear damage and reliability levels for a given temperature loading profile. Using structural reliability methods the reliability levels of the electrical components are assessed by introducing scale factors for stresses.
