The MIL-STD-750 and MIL-STD-883 standards integrate the essential environmental tests to identify the tolerance of these instruments toward harmful sectors of environmental elements and conditions during military missions, and physical and electrical tests.
The MIL-STD-883 standard establishes uniform methods, controls and procedures for testing microelectronic devices suitable for use within military and aerospace electronic systems.
This includes basic environmental tests to determine resistance to deleterious effects of natural elements and conditions surrounding military and space operations; mechanical and electrical tests; workmanship and training procedures; and such other controls and constraints as have been deemed necessary to ensure a uniform level of quality and reliability suitable to the intended applications of those devices.
Test examples for MIL-STD-883:
- Method 2004 Mechanical Test Method Standard for Microcircuits: Lead integrity. This method provides various tests for determining the integrity of microelectronic device leads (terminals), welds, and seals
- Method 5004 Electrical Test Method Standard for Microcircuits: Screening procedures. This method establishes screening procedures for total lot screening of microelectronics to assist in achieving levels of quality and reliability commensurate with the intended application
The MIL-STD-750 standard establishes uniform methods for testing semiconductor devices, including basic environmental tests to determine resistance to deleterious effects of natural elements and conditions surrounding military operations, and physical and electrical tests.
For the purpose of this standard, the term “devices” includes such items as transistors, diodes, voltage regulators, rectifiers, tunnel diodes and other related parts. This standard is intended to apply only to semiconductor devices.
Many devices used in Aerospace & Defense applications must be tested to either MIL-STD-883 (integrated circuits) or MIL-STD-750 (discrete devices).
