High Reliability Processing

Isocom Ltd's high reliability processing is based upon BS9000 or CECC20000 test methods, and consists of:

  1. 100% internal visual inspection (cond. B) - [L2, L3, B, C only]
  2. 100% isolation leakage current testing
  3. 100% testing at -55°C and +125°C
  4. 100% one week burn in [L2, L4, B, D only]
  5. 100% hermeticity testing [L2, L4, B, C only]
  6. Group A and B lot-by-lot tests on samples drawn from each inspection lot
  7. Group C and D periodic tests on samples drawn every 3 and 6 months

Isocom Ltd products are assembled under clean room conditions. All processing and testing is strictly controlled as part of an integrated QA programme.

Quality Conformance Testing

The following tables summarise the main test requirements for Isocom Ltd's BS9400 and CECC20000 released product. The tables are for guidance only, and specific test requirements are contained in the BS9400/CECC20000 detail specifications, which can be obtained from Isocom Ltd. Comparisons between BS9000, CECC and MIL-STD-883C are also for guidance only, as detail differences do exist between some of the cross referenced test methods.

Notes

1. In these Tables, BS9400 is the referee test method; comparable methods are quoted for your guidance only.

Selection Guide

Isocom Ltd's devices are available either as:

  1. Standard High Quality Product; or,
  2. Quality Assessed Product with release to BS9000/CECC (without High Reliability Screening); or,
  3. 100% Screened Product with release to BS9000/CECC for High Reliability Applications.

Note: Isocom Ltd's policy is to release products to CECC requirements in preference to BS9000. The BS9400G - specifications quoted above will, therefore, be superceded by CECC detail specifications when suitable generic rules documents become available within CECC.

Ordering Information

Orders should state whether standard, quality assessed, or 100% screen product is required. As a typical ordering code example, device 4N55 would be 4N55 unscreened or non-released, but 4N55/L2 in assessment category L2.
For BS9000/CECC release orders should quote the detail specification (and issue) against which release is required, and the assessment category.
If in doubt please contact our representative or customer service department.
