What is HASS?
HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening) precipitates latent defects in manufacturing and dramatically reduces associated field failures. Some companies have also used HASS to reduce manufacturing cycle times and improve inventory turns by eliminating “Burn In”. HASS can identify problems caused by substituting components on an existing design. Development of a HASS profile requires previous HALT results, other product-specific information and a validation exercise. Products under test are powered-up and monitored throughout the process. HASS is a manufacturing process that utilizes similar equipment to HALT.
