AEC-Q200 Testing

Reliability Testing · AEC-Q200

AEC-Q200 is the reliability qualification standard for passive components (capacitors, resistors, inductors and others) used in automotive electronics. QRAPS tests to the current Rev. E.

Supplying carmakers and tier-1 suppliers requires test data to this standard. We run the stress tests the standard prescribes on our own equipment and provide the test data and reports required for delivery.

Key services

Standard Test

Testing to the standard

Temperature cycling, biased humidity, high temperature exposure, mechanical shock, vibration, thermal shock and endurance — every item AEC-Q200 requires, under the conditions it specifies.

Interpretation

Interpreting the standard for delivery

We interpret the differences between a customer's requirements and the international standard, and work out which items to test under which conditions from the test planning stage onwards.

Comparison

Comparative evaluation

We support comparative testing of new components, alternative parts and components from a changed supplier.
