What it is

The ESPEC TSE 11 A is a thermal shock chamber manufactured by ESPEC.[1][2][6][5][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A thermal shock chamber typically contains two separate temperature zones—one hot and one cold—along with a mechanism to transfer the test load between them rapidly. The transfer may be performed by a basket or elevator that moves the devices from one zone to the other, exposing them to a sudden change in temperature. The transition time and temperature differential are controlled to simulate the thermal stress encountered during real-world operation.
