STI detects counterfeit components

STI Electronics provides evaluation and detection of counterfeit components.

Counterfeit electronic components have become a common problem for both military and commercial electronic assemblers and producers.

If counterfeit components are inadvertently used in the assembly process, the result is often unexpected premature failure of the assembly.

To minimise the economic effect, early detection is key so that protective measures can be taken.

STI's Analytical Laboratory offers various services to investigate for counterfeit devices.

Some of these services include functional testing, optical inspection, X-ray analysis, FT-IR testing, elemental surface analysis (SEM/EDS), and chemical mechanical decapsulation.
