What is Thermal Aging Testing?
Reliability of PCB board components decreases exponentially, with time, which results in PCB failure followed by the entire device. It happens due to the difference in coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) across the PCB materials. Thermal Aging Testing is performed to determine the operational life of the PCB board. It tests the capability of PCB components to withstand extreme temperatures for an extended period of time.
Usually, the thermal aging testing is performed in a chamber that stimulates high temperature and analyzes the PCB components. This chamber catalyzed/ accelerates the aging process of the components by putting them under extreme temperature situation.
- Helps to analyze the life cycle of the PCB
- Helps to figure out the defective components
- Ensures the PCB stability under varying temperatures
