Reliability Tests
i. Low-temperature test: Expose the specimen to -40ºC for 400 hours and then to normal temperature/ humidity for 24 hours or
more. After this test, examine its appearance and functions.
ii. High-temperature test: Expose the specimen to +105ºC for 400 hours and then to normal temperature/humidity for 24 hours
or more. After this test, examine its appearance and functions.
iii. High-temperature/ High-humidity test: Subject the object to the environmental conditions of +60ºC and 90 – 95 % R.H. for
96 hours, then expose to normal temperature/ humidity for 24 hours or more. After this test, examine its appearance and
functions.
iv. Thermal shock test: Subject the object to cyclic temperature change (-40ºC, 2 hours ↔ +85 ºC, 2 hours) for 100 cycles, then
expose to normal temperature/humidity for 24 hours or more. After this test, examine its appearance and functions.
v. Vibration test:
• Sinusoidal vibration test: Subject the object to vibrations of 5 to 200 to 5 Hz swept in 10 minutes, 4.5 G at maximum
(2 mm amplitude), in X and Y directions for two hours each and in Z direction for four hours. After this test, examine
its appearance functions.
• Vibration test in packaged condition: Subject the object, which is packaged as illustrated, to vibrations of 15 to 60 to
15 Hz swept in 6 minutes, 4 G at maximum (2 mm amplitude at maximum), applied in X, Y and Z directions for two
hours each, i.e. six hours in total. After this test, examine its appearance and functions.
vi. Free fall test in packaged condition: Drop the object, which is packaged as illustrated, to a concrete surface from the height
of 90 cm, on one comer, three edges and six faces once each, i.e. 10 times in total. After this test, examine its appearance and
functions.
vii. Soldering heat resistance test: The lead pins of the unit are soaked in solder bath at 260ºC ± 5ºC for 10 seconds. After this
test, examine its appearance and functions.
viii. Adhesion test: The device is subjected to be soldered on test PCB. Then apply 0.5 Kg (5 N) of force for 5±1 seconds in the
direction parallel to the substrate. (The soldering should be done by reow and be conducted with care so that the soldering is
uniform and free of defect by stress such as heat shock).
