Thermo Fixture | from -40°C to +85°C

A Thermo fixture is about conducting #HighlyAcceleratedLifeTests (#HALT) and #HighlyAcceleratedStressScreening (#HASS) tests. As a qualitative test procedure, it is designed to expose electronic and electromechanical components to an accelerated aging process. Even at the stage of product development, weak points or faults are identified.

Extreme temperatures

The test process takes place in a special thermal test fixture. During the testing process, the test item is exposed to extreme temperatures, which are usually between -40°C and +85°C. Deviating temperature ranges are also possible at this point.

Without a climate chamber

The temperature change occurs at very short time intervals of just a few seconds in order to simulate an accelerated aging process. The entire testing process takes place entirely without a climate chamber. The thermally insulated test fixture is filled with appropriately tempered air using a thermal device. The fixture is designed in such a way that the air flows around the circuit board to be tested in order to ensure even temperatures on all sides.
