Reliability Qualification & Electrical Test

HTOL, HAST, THB, temperature cycling, ESD, and latch-up for new parts, plus the burn-in boards and DUT cards to run them.

What it is

Qualification is where NPI schedules slip quietly. The test plan is fine; what's missing is the burn-in board, the socket, or a lab slot that lines up with when parts come off the packaging line.

We run qualification on the same engagement as packaging, so parts move straight from assembly into stress, and the burn-in boards and DUT cards come with it. When something fails, failure analysis is part of the same engagement rather than another purchase order.

Chamber ranges

The test chambers span −65 °C to 200 °C between them. HAST and the pressure cooker add humidity and pressure.

Common questions

Which reliability tests do you run?
HTOL, HTRB, HTGB, H3TRB, BLT, HAST, THB, PCT, TCT, THST, THCT, HTST, LTST, MSL preconditioning, and reflow, plus ESD (HBM, MM, CDM) and latch-up.
Do you provide burn-in boards?
Yes, turnkey: we size the sockets and board count from your schematic and package drawing, then design, lay out, assemble, and debug the boards. That removes the most common wait in a qualification schedule.
Can you package and qualify the same lot?
Yes. Packaging, qualification, and failure analysis run on one engagement, so parts move from assembly into stress without a handoff.
