Burn In Scenarios using HALT
  • Burn In - Scenario 1
  • Testing For:
    • It applies when the product specification calls for a reliability growth program of equipment(electronic, electromechanical and mechanical hardware as well as software) or when it is known that the design is unlikely to meet the requirements without improvement
    • Solder joints, glued interfaces and other parts that are stressed by differences in CTE

      Design for Reliability Processes - Early in the design processes, Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) is utilized to expose early prototypes and existing components to the full range of expected operating conditions, within a controlled environment

    • This Handbook is intended for use by both contractor and government personnel during the conceptual, validation, full scale development, production phases of an equipment/system life cycle.
