Samtec interconnects are subject to a wide variety of standard test procedures that push the industry limits to help ensure quality and durability in any application. Severe Environment Testing includes Samtec’s standard Design Qualification Testing (DQT) and Extended Life Product™ (E.L.P.™) testing, along with additional testing for interconnect systems that will be used in more extreme/harsh applications or environments.
Samtec's SET products are approved for NASA Class D missions that require high-reliability, quick-turn and cost-effective solutions for LEO satellites, SmallSats, CubeSats and other space exploration applications.
Samtec utilizes NASA outgassing data to determine if certain products meet NASA’s ASTM E595-77/84/90 test requirements. See Samtec’s Outgassing FAQ for more information.
