Welcome to this next video in the series for PCBs.
2
Here we're going to be looking at electronic goods and the reliability testing.
3
Let's start with reliability and durability.
4
New product development is a complex process and takes time and a key step in the processes
5
testing your product for reliability and durability.
6
The main reason for reliability testing is to find out what the performance is over a long period of time.
7
Reliability test results may be categorized using the bathtub curve shown on the right here.
8
The bathtub curve shows the decreasing failure rate during the early infant mortality days of the product,
9
leading to the normal life of product population and finally the onset of the end-of-life wear out.
10
You can see here the decreasing failure rate section, the constant failure rate and the increasing failure rate.
11
The blue curve is the bathtub shape.
12
Let's switch over to temperature and humidity.
13
Temperature and humidity testing determines
14
how a system behaves in extreme conditions where the product is operated in high and low temperatures
15
as well as cycling the temperature between high and low.
16
Among other things, temperature
17
and humidity test studies the effects of climate changes on electronic components such as failures due to parameter shifts,
18
mechanical failures due to rapid water or frost formation, optical failures as in fogging,
19
water tightness in packaging and looking at the failures,
20
and material degradation or epoxy coatings etc and much more.
21
The table on the right here shows an example of shipping
22
environmental tests where it goes from step one to five and the humidity and temperature starts at low,
23
raising to high and then back down to low again.
24
On the right hand side it shows the duration for each of these tests.
25
RH just stands for relative humidity.
26
Vibration testing.
27
The applications of vibration testing form a major part of quality assurance for everything from printed circuit boards to completed products.
28
With specifically designed equipment such as mechanical,
29
electro-hydraulic and electromagnetic shakers, test samples are typically subjected to varying degrees of controlled vibration stresses.
30
Products are vibration tested to determine limits and tolerances.
31
Every product is vulnerable to vibration loads and potential breakage or failure.
32
You can see here, typical vibration test machine.
33
Mechanical shock testing.
34
The ability to withstand mechanical shock is both a key design consideration
35
and an important selling point for certain types of consumer goods.
36
For this reason, a dynamic mechanical analysis is a required component of quality control and product testing.
37
A shock test will measure the impact of sudden acceleration or de-acceleration using precise tools such as strain gauges,
38
load cells, and piezo sensors.
39
Here we can see a mechanical shock testing equipment and the setup.
40
Now I want to talk about the highly exaggerated life test or the HALT process.
41
HALT is applied to the initial product testing stages prior to production
42
and its primary objective is to highlight failure modes
43
and weaknesses in the design so the design can be modified and improved to eliminate any weaknesses found.
44
In HALT, temperature and vibration stress conditions
45
are used during product development to find weak spots in the product design and its planned fabrication processes.
46
Other test stimuli may include humidity, thermal cycling, burn-in for a specified period of time,
47
overvoltage, voltage cycling and anything else that could logically expose defects.
48
This test requires only a few units and a short testing period to identify the fundamental limits of the technology being used.
49
Generally every weak point must be identified and fixed or redesigned if it does not meet the product's specified limits.
50
This is a typical flow process for the whole process.
51
We can see at the top here we've got start we
52
then drop down into the first test cycle here we're looking at temperature operation limits with voltage limits.
53
We can see then if we've got the decision point, failure occurs or not.
54
If it does not occur, then it just drops into the next test cycle.
55
And here we've got the thermal cycle.
56
And again, the decision point there, if it does not fail, it completes the cycle with a vibration test.
57
If however, at any point during these tests,
58
the failure does occur, then you can see it drops down to the bottom, leading the requirement to analyze what that root cause was,
59
then moving into manufacturing process improvements, improvements from the design features,
60
improved component choice etc and then coming back through that complete cycle until everything has passed this process.
61
Next let's have a look at the highly accelerated stress screening or HAS.
62
HAS is implemented at the production stage where the production samples
63
are subjected to stress testing beyond the product specification limits but not up to the extreme levels used in the HALT test.
64
The objective of HAS is to ensure products from production meet the life expectancy without showing any signs of failure modes.
65
Early production failures on a new product are often attributed to
66
variability within the manufacturing process therefore identifying these potential production failure
67
modes as early as possible is paramount to the success of a product launch and this is where has comes into play.
68
A random set of production items will be selected for the production line
69
and then placed under different stress tests that can highlight production faults
70
that are not only obvious but will also identify any of the latent faults that are not detectable in normal production testing.
71
This reliability screening allows potential faults to be identified that are normally associated with early production failure in the field.
72
This provides the engineering team to work on corrective actions
73
and process improvements thus creating a more robust and reliable product that would otherwise lead to potential product failures for the customer.
74
In summary, this process is ideally suited to all electronic
75
and electromechanical assemblies so that a more reliable and robust product can be released into the marketplace.
76
Let's have a look at a quick graph for HAS.
77
On the extreme ends of the graph we have the lower and upper destruction limits.
78
The next set of limits in are the lower operational and the upper operational limits.
79
In the center here we have the has section and the production specification limits.
80
We can see that the manufacturing defects removed by the has testing highlighted in red.
81
This is the objective of the has testing to remove these poor products.
82
Let's have a look at the HALT and the has summary with a timeline.
83
We can see in In the table, across the top we have the typical test profile for both HALT and HALT,
84
the defects being addressed, development phase being applied and the stress levels.
85
From a timing point of view across the bottom, the HALT test is clearly shown in the design phase,
86
whereas the HALT test is highlighted at the end of the manufacturing phase.
87
The importance of product reliability.
88
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
89
So making sure your products are reliable before you bring them to market can prevent problems that can doom your business.
90
Understanding some of the basic benefits of reliability testing will help
91
you make sure you're ready to sell with minimal problems from day one.
92
Making sure your product is reliable can also help you spot design
93
and production flaws that can cause failure and potential injuries to users.
94
Just one successful lawsuit can put you out of business.
95
Remember, put reliability first.

為何這個影片是絕佳的口語練習素材？
想通過“看影片學英語”提升口語？這個關於PCB可靠性測試的影片再合適不過。它的語言邏輯清晰，專業術語與日常表達結合自然，語速適中且帶有明顯的說明性語調，非常適合“shadow speak”練習。影片中對測試流程的分步講解，如“ bathtub curve”“HALT process”等，既能積累專業詞彙，又能學習如何有條理地描述複雜概念，簡直是“shadowspeak”練習的寶藏素材。
拆解自然表達，掌握地道口語
我們來看看影片裡的幾個自然表達：
- “New product development is a complex process and takes time and a key step in the processes testing your product for reliability and durability.” 這句話用簡單的連詞“and”連線多個資訊點，符合英語說明文中“先總述再分述”的習慣，聽起來流暢不生硬。
- “The main reason for reliability testing is to find out what the performance is over a long period of time.” 這裡用“find out what the performance is”而非“find the performance”，更符合口語中“先明確目的再說明內容”的表達邏輯，自然且易懂。
- “HALT is applied to the initial product testing stages prior to production and its primary objective is to highlight failure modes and weaknesses in the design.” 句中“prior to”“highlight”等詞彙的使用，讓專業表達更顯地道，同時“and”的連線使句子結構平衡，避免了冗長感。
這些句子之所以自然，是因為它們遵循了英語“資訊逐步遞進”的表達習慣，用簡單結構承載複雜內容，非常適合“shadowspeaks”練習時模仿語調與節奏。
簡單實用的“shadow speak”練習流程
試試這個“重複-錄製”迴圈，輕鬆掌握影片中的口語技巧：
- 先完整觀看影片，熟悉內容與語調。
- 選取1-2分鐘片段，逐句播放，每句暫停後用“shadow speak”方式跟讀，模仿發音、語調和節奏，注意連讀與弱讀（如“takes time and a key step”中的連讀）。
- 用錄音裝置記錄自己的跟讀，對比原影片，找出語調、重音的差異，重點練習“bathtub curve”“mechanical shock testing”等專業術語的發音。
- 每天重複3次，每次10分鐘，堅持一週，你會發現自己的口語流暢度和專業表達能力明顯提升。
這種“看影片學英語”的方式，結合“shadowspeak”練習，能讓你在潛移默化中掌握地道表達。快來試試吧，說不定你會愛上這種“邊學知識邊練口語”的方法！
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
