Salt Spray Testing for OBD Harnesses: Why 48 Hours Is Not Enough for Coastal Fleet Applications

Short answer from our lab: 48-hour salt spray testing is a process control check, not a coastal service-life prediction. For coastal fleet OBD harnesses, specify at least 240 hours neutral salt spray or 15–20 cycles of IEC 60068-2-52 Test Kb, plus post-test contact resistance limits and material traceability.
