Overview of Environmental Testing Is IEC 60068 Part 2 Sec 38 2009
This test is the ultimate stress check for component integrity. Unlike static testing, IS/IEC 60068: Part 2 Sec 38 utilizes a “breathing” effect—cycling temperature and humidity to force moisture into micro-cracks—followed by a freezing phase to expand that moisture and expose latent defects.
- Detects Seal Failures: Identifies breaches in hermetic seals and gaskets.
- Accelerated Aging: Simulates weeks of harsh weather in days.
- Prevents Field Returns: Catches degradation issues before they reach the market.
