Environmental Testing Services for Cable Assembly Durability Verification

As a specialized environmental testing provider, OurPCB delivers climate and durability verification for wire harness and cable assembly applications. Environmental testing accelerates years of field exposure into controlled tests, verifying assemblies can withstand real-world operating conditions.

Temperature cycling from -70°C to +180°C covers automotive engine compartment, aerospace, and industrial extreme conditions. Humidity testing to 98% RH verifies moisture resistance. Salt spray per ASTM B117 validates corrosion resistance for marine and outdoor applications.

Thermal shock testing subjects assemblies to rapid temperature transitions, revealing weaknesses in overmolded and potted connections. UV exposure testing verifies heat shrink and jacket materials can withstand sunlight and weathering for solar and outdoor installations.

Testing per MIL-STD-810, IEC 60068, and customer specifications ensures compliance with defense and commercial requirements. IP rating verification confirms environmental protection levels. Combined stress testing applies multiple environmental factors simultaneously for accelerated life testing.

Environmental testing integrates with continuity testing and hipot testing before and after exposure to verify electrical integrity. Our quality systems document all test parameters and results per ISO 9001. Contact us to discuss environmental testing for your cable assembly qualification.

Common Questions

Environmental Testing FAQ

Environmental testing exposes cable assemblies to controlled environmental stresses like temperature extremes, humidity, salt spray, and vibration. It verifies the assembly will perform reliably in its intended operating conditions.

Our environmental chambers can test from -70°C to +180°C. Common automotive testing uses -40°C to +125°C. We can run standard profiles or custom cycles per your specifications.

We test per MIL-STD, IEC, ASTM, and OEM specifications. Common standards include MIL-STD-810 for military, IEC 60068 for general use, and ASTM B117 for salt spray. Custom specifications are also supported.

Test duration depends on the specification. Salt spray testing typically runs 48-500+ hours. Temperature cycling may require 500-1000+ cycles. We'll provide timing based on your specific test requirements.
