Was it possible to calculate Soak Test Equivalent on PCBA?

For example: Soak Test at 60C/80%RH equivalent to how many hour of test at 25C/60%RH ?

What is a soak test? Do you mean a recipe for removing moisture from a board?

It's a functional test over a number of hours/days designed to give an accelerated life test, to detect possible faults, intermittants etc.

You tend to run the boards in a hotter & harsher environment to reduce the test cycle time.

We don't know how to accelerate soak recipes. We'd suggest that you use the recipe for your product use environment that is suggested in SM-785 - Guidelines For Accelerated Reliability Testing Of SM Solder Attachments
