PARTICLE IMPACT NOISE DETECT
Particle Impact Noise Detect testing, known as PIND or
PIN-D, is performed to detect loose particles inside a
device cavity. The test provides a nondestructive means of
identifying those devices containing sufficient mass that,
upon impact with the case, excite the transducer.
The equipment required for this test includes a threshold
detector, a variable shaker and driver assembly to provide a
sinusoidal motion to the DUT, a transducer, and a shock
mechanism capable of imparting shock pulses to the DUT.
Silicon Cert Laboratories (SCL) has recently received Commercial
Laboratory Suitability Status for MIL-STD-883G, Method
2020.8 PIND testing through the Defense Logistics Agency,
Defense Supply Center, Columbus (DSCC). SCL’s Suitability
Letter for PIND and other MIL-STD-883G tests can be viewed
here.
