Materials migration and diffusion across junctions causes semiconductor components to fail, tin whiskers cause shorts, some types of capacitors dry out and/or have their electrolyte deteriorate or crystallize, resistors drift, heat/cool cycles cause PCB flexure resulting in cracked solder joints, corrosion in air creeps into connector pin interfaces and forces pins apart, the list goes on and on and on. To be fair, some of the above-listed failure modes do in fact involve things moving, though imperceptibly so, my point stands. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
