Fluorinert™ Tesitng Fluids

Military Standards 883, 750 and 202

The above Military Standards require certain environmental tests be completed on hermetic packages and others.

These standards establish uniform methods, controls, and procedures for testing microelectronic devices suitable for use within Military and Aerospace electronic systems including basic environmental tests to determine resistance to deleterious effects of natural elements and conditions surrounding military and space operations; mechanical and electricaltests; 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. For the purpose of these standards, the term "devices" includes such items as monolithic, multichip, film and hybrid microcircuits, microcircuit arrays, and the elementsfrom which the circuits and arrays are formed. These standards are intended to apply only to microelectronic devices. The test methods, controls, and procedures described herein have been prepared to serve several purposes.

Fluorinert FC-84 conforms to Military Specification 883 as a detector fluid in bubble tank or negative ion detection (NID) gross leak testing. It is also an effective fluid for use in environmental stress screening.The high dielectric strength and wide liquid range of Fluorinert liquid FC-72 allows its use in a variety of testing applications, including electronic reliability and hermetic seal/gross leak, and thermal shock testing.   Hermetic seal/gross leak testing generally follows Military Standards 883-1014, 750-1071 and 202-112; FC-72 liquid conforms to these specifications.

The high dielectric strength and wide liquid range of Fluorinert FC-40 allows its use in a variety of testing applications, including electronic reliability, hermetic seal/gross leak, and thermal shock testing.

Hermetic seal/gross leak testing generally follows Military Standards883-1014, 750-1071 and 202-112; FC-40 liquid conforms to these standards. Thermal shock testing generally uses Military Standard883-1011 specifications; FC-40 liquid also conforms to these specifications.

The low pour point of FC-770 liquid (-127°C) [replacing FC--77 that was obsoleted] permits its use in thermal shock testing equipment. Conforming to Military Standard 883-1011, the liquid is an ideal fluid for the cold phase of the test because it has precise temperature control, rapid heat transfer due to its high thermal conductivity, excellent material compatibility and no post-test clean-up.
