The DCP-100 Dual Cold Plate fixture design provides the four boundary condition modes required for the  detailed model validation methodology developed by the joint European DELPHI/SEED/PROFIT project. The fixture is also designed as a platform for other thermal environments, such as qJB and qJC, using optional plug-in fixture sections. The built-in 12-channel thermocouple scanner, with included computer interface software, provides sufficient temperature measurement capability for all thermal measurement conditions. Interface contact force is set by a air-driven cylinder with front-panel pressure regulator and digital pressure indicator. The top and bottom cold plates have individual coolant inputs & outputs, allowing for different plate temperatures. Each plate has its own flowmeter. A front-panel toggle switch raises or lowers the top plate, with rate of travel in each direction controlled by separate up and down flow con- trols. A gimbal mechanism on the bottom plate insures parallel interfacing to package surfaces. Click here for a detailed data sheet (in ".pdf" file format).

Test fixtures are also available for thermal transient, junction-tocase thermal resistance (copper block, fan-cooled copper block or liquid), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, etc.
