What does AST stand for?

Trace Laboratories-Central, Palatine, IL, and Thermotron Industries announced a partnership that will offer accelerated stress test services to manufacturers.

Together with a growing family of plug-in switch and control cards, the Series 3700 is ideal for either a functional test system or in stand-alone data acquisition and measurement applications for production and functional testing of electronic products and devices, especially multi-channel I-V testing and accelerated stress tests.

The RCP technology recently passed commercial technical specifications for reliability and durability including: * Passed Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 with 260aeC reflow testing * Passed 1,500 cycles of air-to-air thermal cycling after pre-conditioning * Completed 96 hours of unbiased Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) after pre-conditioning "These recent achievements highlight our leadership and commitment to this breakthrough packaging technology," said Sumit Sadana, senior vice president of Strategy and Business Development and chief technology officer for Freescale.
