March 9, 2016 Host: Ops A La Carte Speaker: John Cooper, Senior Reliability Engineer Time: 12:00pm-1:00pm Pacific Time Register: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8806845518889777665 Many of us are involved in HALT testing; sometimes we wonder if we are doing it correctly or why it is done a certain way. Some of us may not understand it and would like a basic review. This webinar will include an introduction to HALT, an understanding of what it will do, and what it will not do, and how to plan for it. We will explore fixturing, setup, functional verification, and the actual running of the test. We will discuss the real value of HALT. Advanced topics will be touched on such as pitfalls of HALT, how it can be misunderstood, and some case studies. Tune in to this webinar for a …

FREE RELIABILITY EVENT 1) July 9, 2014: FREE Webinar 12-1pm PST https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/730065394 Title: HASS Screening Effectiveness: How do you know? Speaker: Jim McLinn Date: Wednesday, July 9, 2014 (12-1pm PST) How does one know if HASS derived from HALT is effective? HALT and HASS find design and manufacturing flaws and failures. The bigger question is does HASS really prevent a substantial number of field failures? Secondly, what are the economic limits when conducting HASS? This webinar will explore two different real world examples. About the Speaker (James McLinn, CRE, CQE): James has 30 years of experience in high tech reliability, testing and management, in startup companies and companies such as Teradyne and Beckman Coulter. He has worked in …

by Mike Silverman Sept 12, 2013: 12:00pm EST / 9am PST HALT began 40 years ago with a simple idea of testing beyond specifications in order to better understand design margins. Over the past 40 years, thousands of engineers around the world have been exposed to the concepts of HALT and have tried the techniques. Find out more and Register here. …

HALT Calculator Now on the Cloud.

DavidH · Jan 3, 2012 · Leave a Comment

We are pleased to announce that our HALT Calculator is now available as a cloud-based application so you can access it direclty whenever you need. We also have a Paypal payment system in place on-line for quicker access. With the cloud application, we are also offering either pay by use (you can order as many use credits as you'd like) or yearly subscriptions. The yearly subscriptions work great when you have your own chamber or when you perform many HALTs a year and you would like to run the calculator during HALT planning to set must meet criteria, or when you are in the middle of the test and trying to determine which failures to fix and continue testing. Here is the internet version of our HALT Calculator. …

What is HALT and what is not HALT?

Mike Silverman · Oct 4, 2010 · Leave a Comment

When we think of HALT, we think of HALT Chambers and the stresses they provide - cold temperature, hot temperature, rapid thermal transitions, vibration stress, and combined thermal and vibration environments. We need to expand our thinking of HALT into meaning any stress that can accelerate finding defects (in other words, to find design weaknesses before your customers find them). Many other stresses can be used for HALT including: ESD, drop testing, bend testing, water ingress testing, and more. In this presentation, we will explore some of the HALT stresses we can apply in addition to temperature and vibration. We will also explore some misuses of typical HALT chambers and how HALT practitioners believe just because they are using HALT chambers, they think they are performing …
