Power Cycling & Thermal Reliability Testing
Assess the longevity of your components under thermal and electrical stress.
Our Services Include:
- Power Cycling Test:
Simulates the repeated on/off cycles that components undergo in real-world applications. This test helps to understand thermal fatigue effects and electrical reliability.
- High Temperature Storage Life (HTSL):
Tests the stability of materials and components when stored at high temperatures, ensuring no degradation over time.
- High Temperature Operating Life (HTOL):
Determines the reliability of devices while operating at elevated temperatures, crucial for identifying failure mechanisms under use conditions.
Guarantee the robustness of your electronics with our thermal reliability tests. Contact us for Power Cycling & Thermal Tests.
Environmental Reliability Testing
Ensure your products withstand environmental stresses.
Our Environmental Tests:
- Temperature Humidity Test (THT):
Exposes components to various temperature and humidity conditions to accelerate potential corrosion, material expansion, and other humidity-related failures.
- Temperature Cycle Test (TCT):
Involves cycling between high and low temperatures to simulate the thermal shock experienced in real-world environments, assessing material compatibility and solder joint integrity.

Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST)
Swiftly verify product reliability under extreme stress conditions.
HAST combines high temperatures, humidity, and pressure to accelerate the aging process of materials, revealing potential weaknesses in a fraction of the time compared to traditional testing methods.
Benefits of HAST:
- Quick identification of manufacturing defects.
- Accelerated detection of material degradation.
- Reduction in time to market by early problem detection.
Accelerate your product's reliability validation process. Request HAST Testing.
Thin Whisker Susceptibility Testing
Prevent electrical shorts and failures due to metal whisker growth.
Metal whiskers, particularly tin whiskers, can form on certain finishes, posing a risk of short circuits in electronic devices. Our testing:
- Identifies susceptibility to whisker growth.
- Helps in choosing the right materials and finishes to mitigate whisker issues.
- Ensures compliance with industry standards regarding whisker-related failures.
Protect your electronics from whisker-related issues. Contact us for Whisker Testing.
Frequently Asked Questions about Reliability Testing
Why is reliability testing important?
It ensures that products will function as intended over their expected lifespan, reducing the risk of field failures, recalls, and warranty claims, ultimately saving costs and maintaining brand reputation.
How long does reliability testing take?
The duration varies depending on the test type and the product's complexity. Accelerated tests like HAST can provide results in days, while others might take weeks or months to simulate years of use.
