A Solution for Testing Product Durability Against Harsh Temperature Variations

The Rapid Temperature Change Chamber (also known as a Thermal Cycle Chamber) is a testing device used to simulate rapid environmental temperature changes, allowing the evaluation of a product’s durability and stability under harsh temperature variations over a short period.

This testing method is especially important in industries such as electronic components manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and industrial equipment.

Applications in Reliability Testing

The Rapid Temperature Change Chamber is used to:

  • Test the expansion and contraction of materials under rapid temperature changes

  • Detect cracks, solder joint failures, and bonding defects in products

  • Simulate harsh real-world conditions that products may encounter during use or transportation

  • Evaluate the durability of printed circuit boards (PCBs), sensors, semiconductor chips, engineering plastic housings, electronic modules, and more

Typical Technical Specifications of the Chamber

  • Temperature range: -70°C to +180°C

  • Temperature change rate: 5°C/min to 20°C/min (or higher depending on the device)

  • Chamber capacity: Various sizes from 100L to over 1000L depending on the test sample size

  • Automatic temperature control programs – supports continuous hot/cold cycles

  • Integrated data logging and fault alarm systems

Applicable Test Standards

  • IEC 60068-2-14 (Test Na/Nb) – Temperature cycling test

  • JEDEC JESD22-A104 – Temperature cycling for semiconductor devices

  • MIL-STD-883 / MIL-STD-810H – For military and aerospace products

  • ISO 16750-4 – For automotive components
