Can cold weather damage electronics components and circuit boards?
During the winter season, outside temperatures can go down to 10
degrees Farenheit or lower. Since many people carry their laptop computers to and from work each day, I was wondering whether exposure to cold temperatures can damage computer components or circuit boards. My guess is that 10 degrees F is probably not cold enough to cause damage, and that any temperature-related damage is probably caused by too rapid a change in temperature (cracking as a result of expansion and contraction). Am I correct on this? If 10 degrees F is not cold enough, how cold would it have to be for damage to occur? |
