What can DTHTH high temperature & high humidity calibration chamber be used to do?
"Dual 85" (85°C / 85% RH) and "Dual 95" (95°C / 95%RH) temperature and humidity calibration chambers are primarily used for highly accelerated damp heat stress testing. Their purpose is to simulate harsh humid and high-temperature conditions in a laboratory environment to rapidly evaluate the reliability, durability, and potential failure modes of electronic products, materials, components, coatings, etc., under long-term humid and hot conditions.
Their key applications and objectives include:
1.Electronic Components & Assemblies (especially semiconductors):
Assessing Moisture Resistance: Testing the moisture barrier capability of component packaging materials (e.g., IC chips, resistors, capacitors, connectors) and corrosion resistance of metal parts (e.g., leads, solder joints).
Accelerated Life Testing (ALT): Predicting the long-term reliability of components under normal operating environments (e.g., tropical/subtropical climates or inside sealed electronic devices). Damp heat accelerates multiple failure mechanisms, such as:
Electrolytic corrosion (e.g., aluminum wire corrosion).
Intermetallic compound growth.
Package delamination.
Moisture-induced cracking in mold compounds ("popcorn effect").
Conductive anodic filament (CAF) growth.
Process Validation: Verifying if packaging, cleaning, and other processes effectively resist moisture ingress.
Screening: Quickly identifying and eliminating early-failure or latent-defect components (use with caution, as high stress may introduce non-relevant failures).
2.Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs):
Evaluating Solder Joint Reliability: Testing the mechanical strength and fatigue resistance of solder joints under damp heat cycling or steady-state conditions.
Testing PCB Substrates & Solder Masks: Assessing moisture absorption, resistance to delamination, dimensional stability of base materials (e.g., FR4), and the adhesion/insulation properties of solder masks.
Verifying PCBA Cleaning Effectiveness: Residual ionic contaminants can readily cause electrochemical migration and corrosion under high temperature/humidity.
3.Materials (Plastics, Polymers, Coatings, Adhesives, etc.):
Assessing Hygroscopicity: Measuring water absorption rates and dimensional changes (swelling) of materials in high-humidity environments.
Testing Thermo-Hygroscopic Stability: Evaluating the retention of mechanical properties (strength, modulus, toughness), color stability, transparency changes, etc., under high temperature/humidity.
Evaluating Hydrolysis Resistance: High temperature/humidity accelerates hydrolysis in certain polymers (e.g., PET, nylon, polyesters, polyurethanes), leading to chain scission and performance degradation.
Testing Coating/Plating Adhesion & Protective Properties: Verifying the resistance of coatings (paints, powder coatings) and platings (zinc, nickel, etc.) to blistering, peeling, and corrosion under damp heat.
Testing Adhesive Durability: Assessing bond strength retention and failure modes of adhesives in humid/hot environments.
4.Automotive, Aerospace, & Military Electronics:
These sectors demand extremely high reliability. Dual 85/Dual 95 testing is a common method to validate whether critical components (e.g., electronics in engine compartments, avionics, military comms equipment) can withstand extreme humid/hot environments (e.g., rainforests, maritime settings).
