Combined Environmental Test Method for Automotive Connectors

Lately demand for more reliable automotive connectors has been highlighted, making it necessary to establish a quick and reliable accelerated life testing method. This has led to the adoption of a combined environmental test, which is to be performed under conditions resembling the field environment of automotive connectors. We have been achieving success by performing combined environmental tests to determine the reliability of connectors in the development stages while investigating the relation of this test with the field environment.
