Stationary bath for testing electronic components

A method, comprising:

• providing a stationary bath having a tub containing dielectric fluid;
• heating the dielectric fluid;
• providing a board having first and second parallel ends being shorter than third and fourth parallel ends;
• coupling an electronic component to the board;
• inserting the board into the dielectric fluid such that the first end is not in contact with the dielectric fluid and the second end is submerged in the dielectric fluid;
• and
• coupling a power source to the electronic component via the first end of the board.

A method, comprising:

• obtaining a stationary bath with a plurality of slots positioned inside a tub of the stationary bath, the tub having a dielectric fluid;
• heating the dielectric fluid to one of a plurality of predetermined temperature values;
• providing a board with a plurality of conductive leads and a plurality of sockets;
• positioning a plurality of electronic components onto respective ones of the plurality of sockets;
• retrievably placing the board in one of the plurality of slots;
• coupling a power source to the plurality of conductive leads;
• following a predetermined period of time, decoupling the power source from the plurality of conductive leads;
• retrieving the board from the one of the plurality of slots;
• determining whether one or more of the plurality of electronic components has failed;
• when the one or more of the plurality of electronic components have failed, removing the one or more failed plurality of electronic components from the board;
• and
• retrievably replacing the board into the dielectric fluid.
