Home Grown Radiation Monitor (YRM) is being developed for operation on satellites and is designed to measure proton flux between 6 and 200 MeV in 8 bins of kinetic energy and electron flux in Low Earth Orbit for 5 years. The electronic components used in YRM are commercial off the shelf components to reduce cost. To minimize operational risk and data loss and to ensure no loss of communication occurs during the YRM's mission, a test card consisting of 12 of the candidate electronic components was designed. SEE tests were performed on the electronic components on the test card at METU DBL (Defocusing Beam Line) facility with 30 MeV kinetic energy protons up to 3x1011\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$3\times 10<^>{11}$$\end{document}protons/cm2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$protons/cm<^>2$$\end{document} fluence.
