Do you have the ability to RoadTest Power Integrations TinySwitch-5 RDK-1016?

We're looking for a few members to RoadTest a product from power integrations.

Now, this is more of a 'reference design' than a 'demonstration kit', but we often receive requests from suppliers that are like this.

The product is:

26.5 W dual output isolated flyback power supply for appliances using TinySwitch-5 (TNY5073K)

Information and datasheets are available at: https://www.power.com/design-support/design-kits/rdk-1016-reference-design-kit 

With details about TinySwitch-5 at: https://www.power.com/products/tinyswitch/tinyswitch-5

We would likely be looking for a RoadTester that can put it through its paces and characteristics rather than plugging it in and saying "it works". This means we may deviate from our usual RoadTest of 'sign up and you may be selected' and instead go down the path of 'ok, two or three of you are selected and we'll see if we can also provide you with some parts that you need'. (We tend to call these RoadTest Plus or Special RoadTests).

    I'd definitely be in the 'turn it on and use it' camp, but the comments regarding environmental testing made me wonder about the viability of creating a shock / vibration test rig.  Motor and a selection of ALM cams to change the vibration or shock profiles, with a G Sensor and microcontroller to measure / characterise the vibration.  The ultimate aim would be to try and achieve something that could support some of the test profiles in a recognised standard (e.g.  MIL-STD-810)... but I might bite off more than I can chew with that last bit!!
