We test and analyse electronic components to ensure their reliable and safe performance

The quality and reliability of electronic components are critical to the operation of devices and systems. TECNALIA is at the forefront in the performance of crucial tests that ensure the excellence of these electronic components on the market.

We offer a wide range of tests

TECNALIA offers a wide range of tests, from thorough visual inspections and metallographic analysis of micro-sections of welded joints to the evaluation of phenomena such as whisker formation and electrochemical migration. These tests not only detect possible defects in components but also provide valuable information about their strength, durability and performance under various conditions.

The ability to measure mechanical deformations during assembly and perform additional mechanical tests adds an additional layer of understanding regarding thestructural integrity of the components.

  • Micro-sectionmetallographic analysis is an essential tool for the detailed inspection of micro-soldering of PCB systems: it revealscritical  features regarding the structures and quality of the soldering process not detectable by other techniques.
  • In addition to quality control testing, TECNALIA also specialises in rigorous environmental testing, including combined temperature and humidity cycles, thermal shock, vibration and free fall. These tests simulate real-life situations to assess how components respond under adverse conditions to ensure their long-term reliability.
  • Failure analysis, a methodology offered by TECNALIA, unravels the causes behind the loss of functionality of a component or system. This in-depth evaluation, based on the study of materials and operating conditions, provides valuable information to improve design and manufacturing, thus contributing to continuous quality improvement and technological innovation.
