Key Capabilities

8 Cubic Foot Workspace
Generous interior accommodates circuit boards, assemblies, and mid-size equipment. Ample access port locations for sensor leads and power cables during live-load testing.
Programmable Controller
Integrated Thermotron programmable controller manages thermal profiles, ramp rates, and soak times. Supports multi-step test sequences for MIL-STD and IPC compliance testing.
Rapid Thermal Cycling
Designed for accelerated life testing (HALT/HASS) with fast thermal ramp rates. Ideal for qualifying products under thermal shock and fatigue conditions before field deployment.
Humidity-Ready Platform
The S-series platform supports optional humidity control upgrades. Designed for environmental test demands including combined temperature-humidity stress screening.
Fully Tested & Functional
Confirmed operational by seller — cools to −70°C and heats to rated maximum. No "removed from working environment" guesswork. What you see is what you get.
