Temperature-Controlled Ovens for Temperature Testing
应用文章
Electronics manufacturing factories typically have temperature-controlled ovens of various types and sizes. They are used for temperature-related tests such as design validation, manufacturing burn-in tests, quality and reliability tests, and product qualification. Temperature-controlled ovens can be as small as a table top box, a size suitable for design engineers to perform temperature performance characterization of a product. On the other end of the scale, there are ovens that are large enough to test multiple devices at the same time, as shown in Figure 1. To ensure accurate product characterization, the temperature in the oven have to be precise and consistent. This application note describes how handheld measurement tools are used to maintain and verify the functionality of ovens deployed in an electronics factory.
