ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to introduce the reliability methods in connection with lifetime determination and to design testing method for the prediction of the life of the micro switches. These products are subjected to complex stressing, for example, humidity, temperature, current load and so on. Therefore, the most important failure prediction methods, acceleration life testing methods with one, two or more variables have been introduced, as these methods are essential and necessary for reliability prediction.
KEYWORDS: Accelerated Life Testing, Lifetime, Bathtub Curve, Failure Prediction, Reliability Prediction, Arrhenius Relationship
