Listen "Ep. 23: Customizing a Test Program with Spirit‘s Sean Macdonald"
Episode Synopsis
What does your component testing and qualification need to include? We've talked with experts about electrical testing, PEMs qualification, XRF, acoustic microscopy. But what your test program tests and how is going to depend on your product and its application.
Spirit team member Sean Macdonald has talked with customers big and small across multiple applications, for single parts all the way up to a full bill of materials, about how to put together the right tests in the right parameters. He helps customers consider requirements from MIL standards, source control drawings, and applications to make sure we test parts under the right conditions for reliability.
And as Sean explains, the benefit of running a complete test program with Spirit is keeping the cost and handling all in house instead of extending your supply chain. Listen in to hear how you can accomplish procurement, inspections, qualification, assembly, and system-level testing in one order, one shipment.
Sean talks with Marti about:
(0:55) What electrical parameters to test
(3:18) How application affects test requirements
(5:19) How to customize a program with cost and schedule in mind
(7:10) Customize your data sheet, streamline your supply chain
(11:50) Copper inlay boards from Taiyo Kogyo and circuit board assembly
