Used as an industry-wide standard for assessing potential board assemblies failure due to corrosion and other problems with ionic contamination, Thermotron's SIR test system uses highly accurate and reliable designs to measure up to 256 test coupons on standard test circuit boards. The Thermotron SIR test system has the capacity to test from 8-24 test sites up to 25-256 test sites. Other configurations are also available.

Thermotron's SIR uses solid-state switching instead of reed relays, eliminating leakage and enhancing reliability of the test systems. The system is capable of measuring 1MO to 100 million MO resistance with accuracy. Because every input has its own individual test circuit, test voltage and measurement is able to be applied to all test sites in parallel allowing for significantly reduced test times. Another great fixture of Thermotron's SIR test system is all test programming is menu driven with user-friendly prompts and the displays show test status, test values and bias, soak and test intervals in real time. The control system provides storage of up to 12 different test procedures in nonvolatile memory, recallable at the push of a button and a pass/fail display allowing the operator to read test results at a glance. The microprocessor control makes the Thermotron SIR test system easy to use and highly accurate.

In addition to being programmable and able to handle any test pattern including IPC B24, B25, B36 comb, Y and circular patterns, the SIR test system from Thermotron meets or exceeds the requirements for various industry standards:

• ANSI/J-STD 001-006
• IPC-TM 650
• IPC-SM 840
• IPC-S-815 CL III
• MIL-F-14256D
• BELLCORE TR-NWT-000078
• ASTM D-257
• HP EL-EL861-00

The SIR test system from Thermotron provides you with the convenience of a single supplier and the reliability you have come to expect from the Thermotron name. To learn more about the SIR Test System and the other great products offered by the PTS Group visit their website www.thermotron.com/pts.
