Reliability Solutions

Environmental testing is critical to ensuring the reliability of a product. Whether it’s accelerated testing, component/PWB qualification, reliability tests or burn-in, ACI’s environmental testing laboratory can assist with test planning, execution, and data analysis. In-situ data acquisition and custom fixturing is also available.

Environmental Testing Services

  • Thermal cycling
    Thermal cycling can be performed in multiple chambers from -65 to 155ºC with a maximum ramp rate of 10ºC/minute. Humidity control is also available. ACI performs testing to Mil-Std-883E 1010.7, JESD22-A-104-B and others.
  • Thermal shock
    Thermal shock can be performed from -75 to 160ºC with a switching time of less than 5 seconds.  The chamber sample holder is 3.5"x9"x11". ACI performs testing to Mil-Std 883E 1011.9, Mil-Std 810E 503.3, JESD22-A-106-A, and others.
  • Vibration/mechanical shock
    ACI performs sine wave vibration, sine-sweep vibration, and random vibration tests.  The frequency ranges are 2-6,500 Hz for sine wave and sine sweep vibration and 2-2,000 Hz for random vibration.  The vibration can mechanically stress various sample configurations, up to a maximum weight of 1.0 lb. 
  • Heat and humidity
    Samples are exposed to environments of specified temperature and humidity, such as the commonly used 85ºC and 85% relative humidity condition. ACI performs testing to Mil-Std 810E, Method 507.3 and others.
  • Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST)
    The 15"x15"x15" HAST chamber has a maximum temperature of 143ºC, a relative humidity level controlled between 75% and 98%, and a pressure in the range of 0.02 to 0.2 MPa (~2 atm maximum). ACI performs testing to JESD22-A110-B and others.
  • Salt fog
    Controlled salt environment in a chamber that measures 24"x18"x30". ACI performs testing to the following standards: ASTM B-117, Mil-Std 883E 1009.8, Mil-Std 810E, JESD22-A107-A, and others.
