Temperature & Humidity Testing

Temperature and Humidity testing evaluates your products vulnerability to elevated temperature and relative humidity levels. Common failure modes attributed to temperature and humidity are inadequate package seals, faulty encapsulations, increased growth of organic materials and contaminants, silver migration, and the effectiveness of conformal coatings.

Temperature Cycling

Temperature cycling moves your product between hot and cold extremes again and again at a controlled rate. Each cycle stresses solder joints, connectors and bonded materials as they expand and contract, so fatigue cracks and loose connections show up during the test, before a customer ever sees them. We run the profile your test plan calls for, and we can combine temperature cycling with HALT vibration for a tougher test.

Thermal Shock Testing

Thermal shock testing moves a product between temperature extremes as fast as possible. The sudden change puts far more stress on seals, solder joints and bonded layers than a slow ramp, and it exposes cracks, delamination and seal failures. Tell us the temperatures, dwell times and number of cycles in your test plan, and we will run it and report every failure we find.

We run temperature and humidity testing in the same Santa Clara lab as our HALT testing services. Contact us for a quote.
