PIND Testers

PIND Testers

PIND Testers is a manufacturer specializing in Particle Impact Noise Detection (PIND) test equipment used to screen sealed electronic components for internal loose particles. PIND testing is a non-destructive inspection method mandated by military and aerospace standards, including MIL-STD-883 Method 2020, to detect debris or loose particles inside hermetically sealed electronic packages such as integrated circuits, relays, crystals, and hybrid microcircuits. The presence of loose particles can cause intermittent failures or catastrophic device failure in critical applications.

The company's PIND shakers and test systems mechanically vibrate sealed components while a sensitive acoustic sensor detects the characteristic impact noise generated by loose particles bouncing inside the package. This equipment is essential for quality assurance in the production and incoming inspection of high-reliability electronic components destined for aerospace, defense, and space applications.
