Reliability Life Test Method Impacting on New Electronic Product Introduction Process

摘要

Universal Lighting Technologies (ULT) needed to choose the reliability test method in the new electronic product development process. It would make the new design with a short mature time and high reliability and quality. And it would make ULT have high competitive ability in today market. In the trade study, four reliability test methods (Highly Accelerated Life Test (HALT), Accelerated Life Test (ALT), Thermal Aging Test (TAT) and Environmental Life Test (ELT)) were selected to do analysis and evaluation. The combination of ALT and HALT was selected to have the best probability of success to meet the numerous requirements of new product development. The result of this project would be presented at ULT and get the approval of the reliability test method used in the new product design phase.
