January 5, 2024 - Vista, California - Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that covers how changing temperatures affects electronic performance and how practical temperature testing often relies upon having a temperature chamber capable of changing a wide range of temperatures. Electronic products are designed for use within specific temperature ranges, according to application, such as aerospace, automotive, commercial, industrial, medical, and military systems. Temperature chambers provide the means of controlling temperatures during testing; and a good chamber can adjust temperatures over a wide range and within a tight tolerance.

Temperature chambers can be sorted by size, weight, and temperature. Smaller units are ideal for local use, next to a workbench, although the size of their environmental chambers will limit the size and type of DUT. Larger temperature chambers do not have the same placement flexibility, but they can handle larger and more DUTs. Temperature chambers have two key sets of dimensions: for the environmental chamber and for the overall temperature chamber system.

Learn more about how to find the right temperature chamber for you by reading the full blog post on Axiom’s website.

Temperature Chambers Mimic Real-World Conditions 

Changing temperatures can impact the operation of an electronic product, degrading performance and reliability. Electronic products are designed for use within specific temperature ranges, according to application, such as aerospace, automotive, commercial, industrial, medical, and military systems. Temperature chambers provide the means of controlling temperatures during testing; a good chamber can adjust temperatures over a wide range and within a tight tolerance. But the value of a temperature chamber is more than setting and maintaining a temperature. Changing temperatures affect electronic performance and practical temperature testing often relies upon having a temperature chamber capable of changing a wide range of temperatures quickly and consistently to duplicate conditions in which a product will be used.

An antenna near a source of heat may endure temperature changes differently than those imposed by sunlight on a rooftop. The same antenna may be required to perform consistently outdoors in winter with freezing temperatures. Understanding the effects that temperature cycling can have on an electronic device can help enhance reliability and avoid temperature-related failures. Characterizing a device under test (DUT) within an environment with well-controlled temperature can provide insights into the DUT’s expected behavior under real-world conditions. Fortunately, high-performance temperature chambers offer wide temperature ranges to match real-world conditions and the capabilities to change temperatures up and down at rates like real-world conditions.

Temperature chambers can be sorted by size, weight, and temperature.
