In this research, we investigated the development and design of the Accelerated Life Test (ALT) and its approach to the waste of material. The development of a reliability model is based on the moment at which failure appears. The faults detected in welding joints during this research prevented proper current flow within electronic components and this interruption of current is considered a critical system failure. Minitab v18 was used to process data. Through statistical analysis, it was determined that the sample size was adequate with a 95% level of significance. A Shapiro Wilk analysis was carried out to determine the normality of the data, where a p-value of 0.1349 was obtained, which indicates that the data are normal. A Weibull analysis was applied, and it was observed that the data adjusted to the regression analysis and Weibull’s reliability distribution. The results showed that failure phenomena can occur during electronic assembly due to the values of R being too high and too close to each other. Significant issues included the welding alloy, temperature, and the interaction between the welding alloy and vibration. It is observed that with high temperature, the number of faults in the solder alloy used for tin and lead and for tin, silver, and copper were lower. 17 electronic assemblies with measures of 2 cm × 2 cm were fabricated, where components such as leads and electric resistance were used. The objective of analyzing this is to obtain the characteristics of the soldering alloy. Electronic components of this type are used worldwide in all types of electronic components, including: TVs, cell phones, tablet, computers, resistors, diodes, LEDs, and capacitors. For this work, the components were built based on an LED and a diode.

The procedures of estimating the time to failure from accelerated test data are reviewed in this study. An accelerated life test approach which provides the desired reliability results for a fiber optic sensor in shorter times than would be possible with a test performed under normal stress conditions is presented. Utilizing ReliaSoft ALTA software the statistical and life distribution that describe the time to failure of the sensor is determined and the desired reliability results are calculated using the level probability density function.

The study of LED reliability becomes more and more important with LED widely used in various areas, and accelerated life test (ALT) as an element of reliability test is widely used to predict the lifetime of LED. In this paper, ALTs have been carried out at various current levels and various temperature levels. In the current ALT experiment, three kinds of stressing currents were demonstrated for 1W white LEDs and lumen flux of the tested LEDs were studied, and based on Eyting model, lifetime of the tested LEDs is calculated about 6.86×105h. In the temperature ALT experiment, two kinds of stressing temperature were demonstrated for the same type of white LEDs and lumen flux were also studied, and based on Arrhenius model, lifetime of the tested LEDs is calculated about 7.41×105h. In addition, the color shifting velocity is faster than lumens depreciation velocity was observed in our experiment, which means the lifetime evaluating of white LED should be paid more attention.
