Mechanical shock testing

The method is intended to determine the compatibility of devices and subassemblies to withstand moderately severe shocks. The testing conditions simulate real-world scenarios where the equipment might encounter sudden, forceful impacts.

This is a destructive test intended for device qualification, carried out in accordance with JESD22-B110B.

Example testing conditions:

• Pulse shape: saw-tooth curve

• Acceleration: 100G

• Duration: 2ms

• The device is tested along 3 axes and subjected to one shock in both the positive and negative directions for each axis being tested

• Service condition C
