Apparatus for irradiating electronic circuits

摘要

An apparatus for irradiating electronic circuits, applicable to testing the electronic circuits subjected to cosmic radiation and also to the simulation of other radioactive surroundings, comprises: an evacuated radiation-tight enclosure; a moving carriage bearing a radioactive source; an ascensional plate bearing the circuit to be tested and a radiation detector; locking means preventing the enclosure from being demounted when the radioactive source is without a cover and radiates, such locking means preventing irradiation when the enclosure is not mounted, the position of the circuit being modifiable only when the radioactive source radiates, a panel continuously informing the operator of the state of the system and the operations to be performed.
