What is MIL-STD-883?

MIL-STD-883 is a military standard that establishes uniform methods, controls, and procedures for testing microelectronic devices suitable for use within military and aerospace electronic systems. It defines laboratory test methods for determining the resistance of microelectronic devices to the detrimental effects of natural elements or conditions surrounding military and space operations. These tests ensure the reliability and durability of components used in critical applications by subjecting them to a variety of environmental stresses, such as temperature cycling, mechanical shock, vibration, and radiation.
