Vanguard Electronics Environmental Lab
Advanced Testing for High-Reliability Components
Comprehensive On-Site Testing Facilities for Mission-Critical Applications
At Vanguard Electronics, we don’t just design and manufacture high-reliability inductors and transformers — we also operate a state-of-the-art environmental laboratory. Our lab is DLA certified, enabling us to perform rigorous qualification and testing to ensure our components meet the most demanding industry standards.
DLA Certified Qualification Facility
Our environmental lab is certified by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to conduct essential testing on-site. This certification guarantees that our testing processes align with the highest standards, including:
- MIL-PRF-27 (Grades 4, 5 & 6): Military specifications for fixed and variable inductors.
- MIL-STD-981 (Class S & Class B): Standards for space and launch vehicle applications.
- NASA EEE-INST-002: Compliance with NASA’s guidelines for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical parts.
Advanced Testing Capabilities for Mission-Critical Components
Electrical Screening
Corona Testing for High-Voltage Applications
Utilizing a Partial Discharge Detection System, we ensure that our high-voltage components can withstand extreme electrical stresses.
Life Testing
Load / No Load Testing
We evaluate the longevity and reliability of our inductors and transformers under various load conditions, ensuring long-term performance.
Environmental Testing
Thermal Shock / Cycling
Simulating extreme temperature fluctuations, we assess the stability and durability of components.
Mechanical Shock & Vibration Testing (MIL-STD-202)
We expose our components to mechanical stress and vibrations to ensure they withstand impacts and movement in real-world conditions.
Real-Time X-Ray Inspection
Non-destructive internal inspections of components to ensure they meet design and reliability standards.
Humidity & Salt Spray Testing
Evaluating how components perform in high-humidity and saline environments, simulating maritime conditions.
Altitude Testing (up to 90,000 feet)
Testing performance in low-pressure environments, simulating high-altitude conditions.
Specialized Testing Equipment
Pressurized Vacuum Chambers & Ovens
We simulate high-pressure, vacuum, and extreme temperature conditions with advanced equipment designed to replicate real-world stress scenarios.
