Kingfield Boosts Capabilities with Fourth ESS Chamber
March 22, 2016 | Kingfield ElectronicsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Contract electronics manufacturer Kingfield Electronics has added a fourth Environmental Test Chamber to further increase its existing ESS test capabilities.
The ShareTree TC/Slimline/600/-70/LN chamber provides increased thermal cycling capabilities over a wide temperate range of -70°C to 190°C and with a ramp rate of 10°C/min. The equipment features a 5kg, non-dissipating load for both the hot and cold cycles. The system has also been further enhanced with the addition of liquid nitrogen cooling and a Eurotherm PC Based data logging capability. This extends the company's previous capabilities and now enables the testing of product destined for extremely harsh environments.
"As we become increasingly involved in producing complex equipment and systems destined for high reliability requirements such as defense and aerospace, the need to adopt more stringent test strategies becomes of paramount importance. This new capability further enhances our existing product test capabilities and ensures we can now develop and implement a full test strategy for product in virtually any application,” said Martin Green, quality director.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
