MIL-STD-202 Test

MIL-STD-202 is one of the most important legal standards for defense contractors today. By setting up the test protocol for all products and system components with printed circuit boards, it sets out clear guidelines to follow if you are going to put your product in this lucrative market.

EUROLAB has many years of experience in testing electronic components against military and other standards. We can help you meet your compliance requirements appropriately and on time.

Test Methods for MIL-STD-202 Standard Electronic and Electrical Component Parts

The MIL-STD-202 standard “creates uniform methods for testing electronic and electrical component parts, including basic environmental tests and physical and electrical tests, to determine the resistance to the harmful effects of natural elements and conditions surrounding military operations.

For the purpose of this standard, the term "component parts" includes elements such as capacitors, resistors, switches, relays, transformers, inductors and others. Unless otherwise stated, this standard is intended to be applied to small component parts weighing only 300 pounds or with an average root test voltage of up to 50.000 volts. The test methods described here have been prepared to serve several purposes:

• a. To determine the appropriate conditions giving the test results equivalent to the actual service conditions existing in the field and to obtain the repeatability of the test results. The tests described here should not be interpreted as a precise and precise representation of real service operation in any geographic location, because the only real test for operation at a particular location is a real service test at that point.
• b. A standard (1) identifies all test methods of a similar character arising in various joint or single - service electronic and electrical component parts specifications, (2) test methods suitable for use in various specifications, and (3) currently standardized test procedures of component parts. prominent extreme environments where it will be tested under some, especially temperatures, barometric pressures, etc. Combined in this way, these methods can be kept in the same way, thereby leading to the protection of equipment, working hours and test facilities. While achieving these goals, each of the general tests needs to be adapted to a wide variety of electronic and electrical component parts.
• c. The test methods described here for environmental, physical and electrical tests will also be applied to parts not covered by an approved military specification, military sheet form standard, specification sheet, or drawing, where applicable. "
