Electronics testing
Electronic components are now integrated into any device and are subject to multiple uses in critical conditions, exposed to thermal, mechanical and chemical stresses. It is essential to have technical certainty that these materials will be safe and durable in accordance with how they were designed and manufactured.
Testing for the electronics industry in TEC Eurolab
TEC Eurolab supports companies in the electronics industry in verifying the correspondence between the expected performance of the component and its actual application in operation.
Our laboratories provide testing services to support the entire production chain of: electronic boards, pins, wiring harnesses, electric motors, solenoid valves and sensors. Components specific to this sector require third-party verification to confirm material characteristics in strict compliance with technical supply specifications.
Analysis activities are inserted to support all phases of the product life cycle. From the concept developed in the research and development departments to the industrialization phase and subsequent putting into production, we structure together with the customer a test plan for the validation of the entire production process.
Applying specific investigation methodologies, the laboratory verifies structural and environmental characteristics such as:
- mechanical strength
- fatigue strength
- chemical resistance
- resistance to thermal shock or surges
- temperature cycling
- atmospheric aging
The laboratory also supports companies in obtaining RoHS certification and performs specific analysis according to IPC-TM-650.
