Abstract
The present invention is directed to an apparatus suitable for regulating, with an impinging flow of gas, the temperature of an electronic component under thermal stress testing at selected temperatures. The apparatus comprises a sensor which senses the temperature of the electronic component and provides an electrical signal representative of sensed temperature to a controller. A gas flow regulator is used to control flow directed to impinge the flow of gas upon the electronic component as necessary to adjust the temperature. The gas flow regulator ms controlled by the controller which operates the regulator so as to adjust the temperature of the electronic components.
