Element Boxborough Expertise

EMI / EMC / ESD / NEBS Testing
Element Boxborough provides EMC / EMI / ESD capabilities with expertise in testing to military, aerospace, telecommunications, electronics, nuclear, and other global industry specifications. Military and aerospace capabilities include radiated immunity testing up to 200 V/m from 10kHz to 40GHz, as well as Electrical Power Characteristics testing for ground, aircraft, shipboard, and submarine applications. Our copper lined reverberation chamber coupled with state-of-the-art amplifiers capable of meeting DO-160 Category G levels from 100 MHz to 18 GHz. Additional capabilities include lightning simulation indirect effects, and ESD up to 30kV.
Element certifies telecommunications products to network equipment building systems requirements (NEBS) as well as international standards. Element also provides complete certification of information technology, industrial and other commercial/electronic products to global EMC and product safety regulatory standards. Element Boxborough has six shielded chambers, including a three-meter and 10-meter FCC listed chambers.
Environmental Testing
Boxborough is a full-service environmental test facility capable of managing your environmental test programs in the commercial, military, defense, telecom, transportation and medical markets. Our technicians and engineers are recognized experts in the performance of a wide array of environmental simulations. The lab boasts 32 temperature chambers (4 of which are walk-in temperature/humidity chambers).
Dynamics Testing
Dynamic testing is essential in a variety of products, components, and systems. This is particularly true for motorized systems, especially those intended for mass production like automobiles and airplanes, must adhere to strict operational requirements - even when subjected to various levels of vibrations, noises, pressures and other potentially disruptive forces. At the Boxborough lab, you get access to a wide range of dynamic testing services using a combination of electro-dynamic shaker systems, seismic systems, acceleration, static and dynamic loading, and more.
