What is ESS?

Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) is a process used during manufacturing to identify latent defects in electronic components and assemblies through exposure to various environmental stresses. The goal of ESS is to precipitate defects that might otherwise manifest during normal use, allowing them to be identified and corrected before products are shipped to customers.

How do we do ESS?

Devices undergo controlled vibration tests, replicating the mechanical stresses experienced during transportation or normal usage.

Products are subjected to varying humidity levels to assess their resistance to moisture and humidity-induced issues.

Rapid temperature changes are applied to evaluate a device's ability to withstand sudden shifts in environmental conditions.

Why Indic?

Our Environmental Stress and Screening process enhance the reliability of your electronic products by identifying and addressing potential issues under diverse environmental conditions. It helps identify latent defects that may not surface during standard testing, allowing for early detection and rectification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conducting ESS leads to early detection of issues, enhanced product durability, reduced post-launch failures, and increased customer trust.

ESS utilizes thermal cycling, vibration testing, humidity testing, and shock testing to simulate real-world stress conditions on products.

Environmental stress refers to extreme conditions a product might encounter during its lifecycle, including temperature variations, humidity, vibration, and shock. These conditions can reveal hidden weaknesses in the product's design or manufacturing.

The Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) process involves exposing a product to environmental stresses to identify potential defects or failures. It's a method used in manufacturing to ensure reliability by forcing latent defects to manifest under controlled conditions before the product reaches the customer.
