INFO

Introduction

Industrial cable assemblies are critical components in aerospace, automotive, oil/gas, and military applications, where they must withstand extreme temperatures (-60°C to +200°C). Rigorous testing ensures reliability, safety, and compliance with standards like MIL-STD-810 or IEC 60571. This guide explores best practices for testing cables in harsh thermal conditions.


Key Testing Methods

1. Thermal Cycling Tests

  • Process: Expose cables to alternating high/low temperatures (e.g., -40°C to +125°C) in controlled chambers.
  • Purpose: Identifies material expansion/contraction failures, connector cracks, or insulation brittleness.
  • Standards: IEC 60068-2-14 (thermal shock), ASTM D3032.

2. High-Temperature Endurance Tests

  • Procedure: Operate cables at peak temperatures (e.g., +150°C) for 500+ hours while monitoring electrical performance.
  • Metrics: Check resistance fluctuations, signal integrity, and insulation degradation.

3. Cold Temperature Flexibility Tests

  • Method: Bend cables at subzero temperatures (-60°C) to assess jacket flexibility and conductor fatigue.
  • Tools: Environmental chambers with robotic actuators for repeatability.

4. Thermal Aging (Accelerated Life Testing)

  • Approach: Simulate years of thermal stress in weeks using elevated temperatures.
  • Analysis: Measure changes in dielectric strength and tensile properties.

Equipment and Best Practices

  • Test Chambers: Use programmable thermal chambers (e.g., Tenney or ESPEC models) with humidity control.
  • Data Logging: Integrate IoT sensors for real-time monitoring of temperature, resistance, and capacitance.
  • Post-Test Inspection: Perform microscopic analysis and hipot testing to detect micro-cracks or leakage.

Common Failure Modes & Solutions

  • Insulation Cracking: Switch to silicone or PTFE materials.
  • Connector Corrosion: Apply conformal coatings or use gold-plated contacts.
  • Signal Loss: Opt for shielded cables with stable dielectrics.
