Exploring Embedded Board Stability in Harsh Environments
Driven by modern technology, embedded boards have become integral to various aspects of life, from power supply and transportation to precision medical devices. Their stable operation is crucial for the smooth functioning of society. However, devices in these critical areas often operate under extreme temperature conditions, demanding high levels of stability from embedded boards. Therefore, performance testing under high and low temperatures is essential.
Forlinx Embedded understands this need and has equipped its physical environment laboratory with three advanced high-low temperature testing devices. These devices have a broad temperature control range, from -60°C to +150°C. Forlinx conducts stability tests on embedded boards for up to 48 hours within this extreme temperature range. This step is crucial for validating the board's stability and reliability in various environments, ensuring fault-free operation in real-world applications.
To comprehensively assess board performance, Forlinx also offers customized tests based on client requirements, including temperature variation tests, constant temperature and humidity tests, and cyclic humidity tests. These tests simulate working conditions under different temperatures and humidity levels to ensure high stability in variable environments.
Why Are High and Low Temperature Tests for Embedded Boards So Critical?
The increasing use of embedded boards in sectors such as power, transportation, and healthcare means these devices often need to operate in extreme climates. Whether in a hot desert or a cold polar region, embedded boards must operate reliably to prevent system failures and potential safety hazards.
In high temperatures, electronic components on embedded boards risk performance degradation, slow response, or even damage. In low temperatures, components might fail to start due to condensation or freezing. To mitigate these issues, Forlinx incorporates several preventive measures in board design, including careful layout and thermal management to minimize the impact of temperature on its performance.
In low-temperature environments, special attention is given to waterproofing, moisture-proofing, and condensation prevention to ensure reliable operation under harsh conditions.
During testing, Forlinx ensures that boards run stably for 24 hours in both low and high-temperature environments to mimic extreme scenarios. Comprehensive performance testing and reliability assessments are conducted to identify and resolve potential issues, guaranteeing outstanding stability and adaptability in real applications.
Through rigorous testing and optimization, Forlinx Embedded is dedicated to providing solutions for embedded boards that perform reliably in various extreme environments, contributing to the stability of critical industries.
