The objective of life testing is to evaluate whether failures caused by wear-out are likely to occur during the product lifetime and thus to estimate compliance of the device with the long-term reliability requirements.
Electronic Components Thermal shock testing is performed to determine the ability of parts to function properly in an environment with sudden extreme changes in temperature. It is also used for accelerated testing during product evaluation and qualification process. Thermal...
Environmental testing provides a useful tool for evaluation, qualification and screening of EEE components for high-reliability applications. Various types of stresses can be applied to the products in a controlled manner thus allowing to accelerate the appearance of latent...
determine the ability of parts and solder interconnects to resist extremely low and extremely high temperatures, as well as their ability to endure cyclical exposures to temperature extremes. Permanent changes to the electrical or physical characteristics of the devices under...
Under certain conditions and in accordance with the ECSS-Q-ST-60-13C standard on the use of commercial EEE parts in space applications, this test may be replaced by the Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) with the test duration reduced to 96 hours. See HAST page for further...
The aim of this process is to verify the conformity of the exterior of electrical, electronic and electromechanical components (EEE parts) with the acquisition document. The following aspects should be considered: Marking Aspect of Materials Workmanship Sealing Leads Feedthroughs
is performed to evaluate the reliability of non-hermetic packaged solid-state devices that are likely to encounter humid environments during normal (ambient) operation. Also known as Pressure Cooker Test (PCT) or Unsaturated Pressure Cooker Test, the purpose of HAST is to...
Burn-in test is an electrical stress test that employs voltage and temperature to accelerate the electrical failure of a device.
