# Industrial Specification: Communication Interface Board

## 1. Technical Definition
A printed circuit board that provides standardized physical and electrical interfaces for data exchange between an industrial system and external devices or networks.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-85°C ambient temperature, 0-95% relative humidity non-condensing, 4.75-5.25V DC supply voltage**. Failure boundary: **Ambient temperature &gt;125°C sustained for &gt;60 minutes, supply voltage &gt;5.5V DC for &gt;10ms, relative humidity &gt;98% with condensation present**, Mechanism: **Thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between FR-4 substrate (17 ppm/°C) and copper traces (16.6 ppm/°C) causing delamination at &gt;125°C, electrolytic corrosion of copper traces at &gt;98% RH with ionic contamination**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **EMI Shielding Effectiveness (SE)**:

> **Primary Equation**: $SE = 20 \log(\frac{E_{in}}{E_{out}})$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures control stability in high-frequency inverter zones.
