REQUEST SAMPLE REPORT

At 32sub, we are committed to providing top-tier testing services that ensure the reliability, performance, and safety of your electronic components. With our state-of-the-art testing capabilities, we help manufacturers, designers, and distributors meet stringent industry standards and avoid costly failures. Our specialized services include:

1. Substandard and Counterfeit Detection

Protecting Your Brand and Product Integrity

The presence of counterfeit or substandard components in your electronic products can lead to severe reliability issues, safety hazards, and regulatory non-compliance. At 32sub, we offer comprehensive detection services to identify counterfeit and non-compliant parts in your inventory. Through advanced technologies like X-ray inspection, microscopic analysis, and spectroscopic testing, we scrutinize each component for signs of tampering, improper sourcing, or poor-quality manufacturing. This ensures that only genuine and high-quality parts are used in your electronic systems, preventing potential risks like circuit failures, overheating, or reduced performance.

2. Failure Analysis

Diagnosing Issues and Improving Reliability

When an electronic component or device fails, it’s crucial to pinpoint the cause quickly to avoid future issues. 32sub’s failure analysis service dives deep into identifying the root causes of failure in electronic components. Using tools such as scanning electron microscopes (SEM), thermal imaging, and material analysis, we assess issues like overheating, short circuits, component degradation, and soldering defects. Our detailed failure reports help you understand the weaknesses in the design, material choice, or manufacturing process and improve the overall reliability and performance of your components in future iterations.

3. Lifecycle and Reliability Testing

Ensuring Longevity and Consistent Performance

Electronic components often need to withstand varying environmental conditions, from extreme temperatures to humidity and physical stress. 32sub’s lifecycle and reliability testing simulates these real-world conditions to assess how your components perform over time. We subject your parts to stress tests, such as thermal cycling, vibration testing, and humidity exposure, to understand how they will behave over the long term. This testing helps predict the lifespan of your components and identify potential failure points, ensuring they perform reliably throughout their expected lifecycle in electronic devices, whether in consumer electronics, automotive systems, or industrial machinery.

4. Electrical Testing

Verifying Safety and Functional Efficiency

Electrical testing is essential to ensure that your electronic components operate safely and efficiently within their designated electrical parameters. At 32sub, we offer a range of electrical tests, including voltage testing, current measurements, insulation resistance checks, and power quality analysis. These tests help verify that your components meet industry safety standards and function within the desired electrical specifications. We also evaluate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical signal integrity to ensure your components will not interfere with other parts of the system and will deliver optimal performance in real-world applications.

Typical Testing Process at 32Sub

Substandard and counterfeit detection

Early detection and prevention of counterfeits determines the quality of the entire supply chain. We develop a customized risk mitigation plan and perform everything from screening third-party samples to creating a database of “known good parts“ to high quality inspection standards such as AS6081, AS6171, AS5553, CCAP-101, and IDEA-1010.

Failure analysis

Failure analysis of electronic parts and components provides meaningful information about why they do not meet performance expectations, but also about their potential performance in their intended end use. Conducting an unbiased failure analysis by an independent testing laboratory ultimately enables the manufacture of higher quality products.

  • Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDX)
  • Scanning Accoustic Microscopy (SAM)
  • Cross-section (Microsection)
  • Parallel Lap
  • Hot Spot Test

Lifecycle and reliability testing

To make predictions about a product’s longevity based on its characteristics, lifecycle testing analyzes how the product functions under normal conditions of use. To simulate intensive use as well, reliability testing exposes products to extreme conditions that far exceed normal operating requirements.
