Vibration and Shock

HALT/HASS Chamber

HALT -Highly Accelerated Life Testing

•Combined six-axis vibration and temperature

extremes.

•Intentionally but systematically produces test

item failures for the purpose of rapidly identifying

mechanical, electrical, design and functional

weak points.

•Design weaknesses can be analyzed,

corrected, and the product design optimized.

HASS -Highly Accelerated Stress Screening

•Overstress test to identify marginal or defective

products before shipment.

•HASS test levels are identified during HALT

and are established to compress test time

without damaging the product or reducing its life.

Vibration and Shock

Sine Vibration

From rotating or oscillating machinery; electric motors, wheels, engines, gears, springs.

Useful for evaluating dynamic characteristics of structures, i.e resonance

Random Vibration

More accurately represents the true environment.

Excites all frequencies

Most damage occurs at

fundamental frequency

of electronics PCB.

Vibration and Shock

Shock High stresses causing fracture or permanent deformation

High accelerations which can cause relays to chatter, potentiometers to slip, bolts to loosen.

High displacement which can cause impact between adjacent circuit boards

Usually not considered a fatigue failure if shock quantity less than 1,000 cycles.

Selecting a Vibration Level or a Shock Pulse

Which Shock Pulse should I Apply?

How Many?

Which Level?

What is the vibration spectrum of interest?

How long should I test for?
