A. Evaluation and Go/No-Go Testing
o Preparing test program
o Fixturing as required
o Testing and classification
o Recording and analyzing parameter distribution data
o Setting go/no-go limits and test failure categories
o Analyzing data and preparing report on results of testing
B. Life Testing
o Selection of life test samples using evaluation data
o Testing and datalogging samples at intervals during and
after life test
o Provide statistical analysis of results using Weibull distribution techniques
o Analyzing data and preparing detailed report on results of
life testing
C. Qualification
o Obtain and compare quality and reliability data on relay
samples from potential vendors
o Recommend qualified vendors based on test data
o Provide baseline data for selecting vendors
o Review and analyze supplier quality systems and processes
to assure consistent high quality components
o Ensure application is correct
D. Analysis of Field Failures
o Collect data on field returns
o Categorize failure modes
o Make recommendations for future improvements
o Track root-cause failure analysis and manage improvements
with suppliers
E. Specialized Testing
o RF testing: determine insertion loss, return loss, and isolation for your relays
o Aerospace/Military: vib/shock testing, thermal shock, leak testing, thermal cycle, altitude
