Updates were made to the 299B model in 2006. Changes made to some table values result in the calculation of slightly different failure rates for these parts. Additionally, this model now supports constant failure rates for many new parts. These failure rates are the same for both the Parts Count and Parts Stress methods. An English translation of this standard is available. If the General category/subcategory combination is not specific enough for these new parts, the Prediction Data pane provides a selection box for choosing a particular part type. Explicit changes made to capacitors, other parts (tubes), semiconductors, and switching devices are noted in the topics for entering parameters for these 299B part categories.
