Two-Chamber Thermal Shock Test Video
See EBC's two-chamber thermal shock system evaluate wire harnesses, terminals and connectors under rapid transitions between high and low temperatures.
What this laboratory video demonstrates
Rapid temperature transitions place strong expansion and contraction loads on conductors, crimps, seals, housings and insulation. This video introduces the two-chamber thermal shock equipment used by EBC to move test samples quickly between hot and cold zones, creating a more severe temperature-change condition than a slow conventional chamber cycle.
Why this test matters
Thermal shock testing can reveal cracks, loss of seal compression, contact-resistance drift, plating damage and interface movement caused by mismatched material expansion. Comparing electrical and mechanical performance before and after exposure helps determine whether a wire harness or connector design can tolerate repeated starts, shutdowns and extreme environmental transitions.
