February 2, 2022 - Vista, California - Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog entitled "Thermal Chambers Boost Electronic Device Reliability," that informs people on the different thermal chambers that can be used as part of a practical environmental test strategy. This is vital when designing electronic devices for use over wide operating temperature ranges.

Depending upon their capabilities, thermal chambers can perform as many as three types of temperature-based testing: thermal cycling, thermal shock, and burn-in testing. When it comes to finding a suitable thermal test chamber for a particular device under test, it's a matter of matching the capabilities of a thermal test chamber to those test requirements. All in all, thermal chambers are typically compared in terms of test volume, temperature range, the rates over which temperatures can change, how tightly the temperature is controlled once stabilized, and the power requirements of the facility in which the thermal chamber will be used. 

More information on any of the test equipment featured here, and many others, is available on the Axiom site or by contacting a sales rep for advice on the best unit for your application, by calling 760-806-6600 or emailing sales@axiomtest.com

Electronic devices are affected in different ways by operating temperatures. Some devices are designed for narrow temperature ranges, typically around room temperature, while other devices can handle wide operating temperature ranges without key deviations in performance. Some electronic devices, for example, are built for mission-critical applications, such as avionics, military, and space missions, and they deliver consistent performance over wide temperature ranges. But determining such capability usually requires evaluating performance across the temperature range over which an electronic device under test (DUT) is designed to operate, often also at various levels of relative humidity (RH). Such environmental testing is usually performed within a thermal test chamber in which temperatures can be set to match the temperatures under which the DUT is expected to be used.

Thermal test chambers come in many shapes and sizes and with many different measurement capabilities. Some are large floor-standing units, even as large as walk-in units, capable of containing large DUTs over wide operating temperature ranges. Others are more compact thermal chambers such as benchtop units, designed to provide thermal and/or humidity control for smaller DUTs, where operating volume is limited and at a premium.

Regardless of size, thermal test chambers may not be part of a company's everyday test requirements and may represent a significant investment of a company's test capabilities. Fortunately, thermal chambers can be rented when needed, to be used as part of a practical environmental test strategy when designing electronic devices and products for use over wide operating temperature range...
