Issue No. 25 - (3/27/08 - PIND)

 


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.
