The Cadence Steam Aging Systems are designed to meet military and commercial Hi-Rel specifications (MIL-STD 202, Method 208 and others) for artificial aging of all electronic components and circuit boards, including high density, discrete components, relays, transistors, capacitors, including SMT and axial components.

The Cadence Systems come in 2 configurations, the standard configuration offers a single steam chamber for large components. The DX features 3 individually timed, ESD protected drawers with a unique closure mechanism that reduces steam escapement during drawer removal. All systems provide complete monitoring and control of steam or water temperature and feature automatic timing of the test duration.

Artificial steam aging of components must occur over a very narrow temperature range, typically at 93 C +/- 3 degrees. The Cadence Steam Aging Systems are the only systems currently on the market that meet this precise control requirement. This thermal accuracy makes the Cadence Systems ideal for component manufacturers and military, commercial, and industrial end users.

To complete the solderability testing process, a Cadence can be used in conjunction with an RPS Prelude 202 Solderability Test System. The Prelude will conduct an automated flux and solder dip process to enable the “Dip & Look Test” to validate the solderability of the aged components.

All RPS Systems are made in the USA and feature a full one year warranty.
