Our testing may include some or all of the following:

  • Temperature (storage and operation)
  • Vibration (functional, non-functional)

  • Shock (bench handling, functional, non-functional, crash safety)
  • Humidity, water tightness

  • Electromagnetic compatibility.

Custom Packaging

The products are packaged in accordance with customer requirements, such as six-sided metal-enclosed, cold plate chassis mount, external fins for natural or forced air convection cooling, internal forced air convection cooling, DIN rail mount, VMEbus card slide mount, slot mount with wedgelocks, 19” rack mount in 1U, 2U, 3U heights or more or any other form factor or mounting method that is specific to the application.
