AAA Test Lab will use its additional space to expand testing stations and technology, the company said.

PALM BAY, Fla.— Accredited electronic component testing laboratory AAA Test Lab, Inc.,  reported that it has expanded its operations and footprint to significantly increase capabilities. The company said in a release that it has procured state-of-the-art testing equipment and increased space at its corporate headquarters in Palm Bay.

AAA Test Lab, Inc. is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited test lab, designed to rapidly detect and report product non-conformities and provide reliable test services. Such services are reported to include failure analysis, electrical up-screening, environmental/life testing, and component authentication.

The company began operations in 2009 by providing electronic component testing services, primarily to the medical and defense industries. In 2014, the lab relocated to Palm Bay to an expanded facility while adding a comprehensive suite of in-house counterfeit mitigation detection equipment to its growing list of electrical test capabilities, the company said.

The additional space will be used to expand testing stations and technology, including environmental chambers, automated discrete test systems, and multiple NI lab benches. These new additions are supported by an expanded and experienced engineering staff that can support a wide selection of electrical and environmental testing capabilities, according to the release

“We are very excited to broaden AAA’s testing capabilities at our Palm Bay headquarters,” said AAA Test Lab Chief Executive Officer Matt Mcintosh, in a statement. “In addition to leveraging our established customer base, this new space we will be able to offer crucial component testing that is scalable and can be tailored to the specific needs of the electronic component industry

“As we build out our laboratory, we will be able to provide a variety of custom-tailored tests,” Mcintosh continued. “Electrical component testing is a major growth industry, continually working to develop more precise procedures and treatments to ensure any part sourced and utilized is reliable. We believe that AAA is well-positioned to play a key role in the industry’s expansion. Our goal is to be one of the leading state-of-the-art testing laboratories globally.”

The company’s semiconductor testing capabilities are reported to include electrical testing, such as passive component qualification, pin correlation, memory tests, JTAG, and boundary scan testing. They also encompass environmental testing and component authentication, including external visual inspection, resistance to solvent testing (RTS), internal visual inspection, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), among others
