Visualizing the reliability evaluation of automotive electronic components in a "high-temperature environment"

Temperature distribution analyzing solution using the 200℃ compatible heat-resistant thermal image measurement "CPA-L25HT"

Advances in vehicle electrification and autonomous driving technology are creating demands for higher reliability than ever before for automotive electronic components.
To ensure stable operation in high-temperature environments such as engine compartments, electronic component manufacturers conduct high-temperature stress tests and long-term evaluation tests.
In these tests, it is important to accurately understand the heat generation state and temperature distribution of the parts.
The heat-resistant thermal image measurement "CPA-L25HT" is used for this purpose as it can be used in high temperature environments.

Do you encounter any of these issues when evaluating automotive electronic components?

  • Want to know the temperature of parts in real time during high-temperature testing
  • Contact sensors cannot detect temperature distribution
  • Visualizing the heat generation status inside a thermostatic chamber
  • I want to obtain evaluation data that meets AEC standard testing requirements.

When evaluating the reliability of automotive electronic components, it is important to detect heat generation behavior and hot spots in high-temperature environments.
thermal image measurement, which can measure temperature distribution over a wide range without contact, contribute greatly to the efficiency of quality evaluation.

Solution Overview

Heat-resistant thermal image measurement CPA-L25HT

The CPA-L25HT is a heat-resistant thermal image measurement that can be installed and used inside a thermostatic chamber.

Main features
  • Temperature measurement range: 0 to 300°C
  • Ambient temperature: Maximum 200°C (when using a heat-resistant case)
  • Resolution: 320 x 240 pixel
  • high-speed frame rate up to 60Hz

High-resolution thermal images allow for real-time visualization of minute temperature distribution and instantaneous heat generation in electronic components.

Three scenarios where you can see the benefits of implementing the system

① Evaluation of electronic components in a high-temperature thermostatic chamber

By placing it in a temperature chamber, it is possible to measure the temperature distribution in real time when parts are exposed to a high-temperature environment.
It enables temperature distribution analyzing across the entire surface, which is difficult to do with contact sensors.

② Reliability evaluation through heat generation analyzing

high-speed frame rate of 60Hz enables continuous recording of the transient heat generation behavior of electronic components.
By analyzing time changes

  • Temperature rising trend
  • Timing of abnormal fever occurrence
  • Hotspot Location
You can understand the following:

③ Aluminum electrolytic capacitor reverse voltage test

In reverse voltage testing, changes in temperature distribution after energization is applied can be visualized in real time.
for example

  • Fever distribution after 1 minute
  • Temperature diffusion after 5 minutes
  • Maximum Temperature Rise
Recording these will help you analyzing the heat generation origin and degradation mechanism.

Four reasons to choose the CPA-L25HT

  1. Stable measurement even in high temperature environments
    The heat-resistant case can withstand a temperature chamber environment of up to 200°C.
  2. Surface temperature monitoring
    Able to measure a wide range of temperature distribution at once
  3. Real-time analyzing of heat generation behavior
    Instantaneous heat generation visualized with 60Hz high-speed imaging
  4. Improving reliability testing efficiency
    Can be used for AEC standard evaluation and quality analyzing data acquisition

Recommended for the following uses

  • AEC reliability testing of automotive electronic components
  • Heat generation analyzing of power supply circuits and semiconductors
  • Battery control circuit evaluation
  • In-vehicle camera and radar evaluation

Summary

When evaluating the reliability of automotive electronic components, it is important to accurately understand their heat generation behavior in high-temperature environments.
By using the heat-resistant thermal image measurement CPA-L25HT, the temperature distribution inside the thermostatic chamber can be visualized in real time, enabling early detection of defects and efficient product improvement.
As the performance of in-vehicle electronic devices continues to improve, it is expected that temperature measurement technology in high-temperature environments will become even more important.
