Abstract
Devices, methods, and systems for facilitating heat transfer around an electronic component during thermal-cycle testing are presented. A system may include a core, a plurality of solid state heating/cooling devices, and a plurality of heat sinks. The core defines one or more cavities for receiving an electronic component. The system may include an air mover and a duct. In operation, the system may cool an electronic component to sub-ambient temperatures and heat it to above the boiling point of water. A method of thermal-cycle testing may include a core defining a cavity for receiving an electronic component, selectively inducing said heating/cooling devices to operate in a heating mode or a cooling mode, and measuring and recording conditions during the test.
