Heating apparatus containing an array of surface mount components for DUT performance testing

摘要

A heating apparatus for heating a DUT is provided. The apparatus contains at least one DUT contact area adapted to be in contact with a single DUT and a plurality of discrete heating elements, such as surface mount resistors, in thermal communication with the DUT contact area. The apparatus also contains an enclosure enclosing the heating elements and a heat exchange fluid passage bounded by an outer surface of the heating elements and an inner surface of the enclosure.
