Reliability Test Fixtures

Aspen Test Engineering, Inc. (ATE)

Reliability Test fixtures are fixtures that hold a specific product or printed circuit board that is put into a vibration or thermal chamber so that the product can be stressed with the intent of inducing premature failures.  This type of testing will identify quality issues such as cold solder joints, bad wire crimps and weak components through the expansion and contraction (thermally) and through random vibration as would be seen in the field.  The fixture shown here is intended to hold a Printed Circuit board for this purpose but we can make fixtures for many levels of assembly to determine issues.
