For completed assemblies which may or may not be cased.

Reason for the question is as stated that we have many differing requirements normally from customers which vary widely even though the target equipment is the same....8-(

The test we actually carry out internally are fairly extreme given the typically benighn environment into which they are put.

Just wanted a quick straw poll on others test parameters

Hi John - are we talking about thermal cycling of assemblies for solder joint/design integrity or thermal cycling of boards for laminate integrity?
The IPC-9701 specification covers the thermal cycling of assemblies and is commonly used.
