The DY-2020 steam aging test chamber accelerates the oxidisation of metallic terminations before a solderability test. It is used for electronic connectors, semiconductor ICs, transistors, diodes, LCDs, chip resistors and capacitors, and other component leads, as well as for general oxidisation studies on semiconductor and passive-component pins.
A microprocessor PID temperature controller drives an SSR output with a PT-100 platinum resistance sensor at 0.1 °C resolution. LED digital display, a titanium-sheathed heater and a full set of automatic safety interlocks are standard; the chamber and jacket are SUS304 stainless steel.
Applications
After storage, component leads develop an oxide film, and a solderability test performed straight away can produce a false "non-wetting" result. Steam aging preconditions the specimens so that the subsequent solder dip reflects real behaviour after long-term storage. The chamber therefore belongs to the preparation stage of a solderability procedure rather than to a life test in its own right.
Two points deserve attention in service. First, water level: dry-running the heater is the most common failure mode of this class of equipment, so the make-up water connection must be secure — a built-in stainless tank allows manual filling or automatic mains top-up at low level without interrupting the run. Second, steam temperature cannot reach 100 °C: 97 °C is the practical ceiling for saturated steam at atmospheric pressure. Higher temperatures require a pressurised autoclave, which is a different instrument.
