Techniques for Suspect/Counterfeit EEE Parts Detection by External Visual Inspection, Remarking and Resurfacing, and Surface Texture Analysis Test Methods
This document describes the requirements of the following test methods for counterfeit detection of electronic components: a. Method A: General External Visual Inspection (EVI), Sample Selection, and Handling b. Method B: Detailed EVI c. Method C: Testing for Remarking and Resurfacing d. Method D: Surface Texture Analysis by SEM NOTE: The scope of this document was focused on leaded electronic components, microcircuits, multi-chip modules (MCMs), and hybrids. Other electronic components may require evaluations not specified in this procedure. Where applicable this document can be used as a guide but additional inspections or criteria would need to be developed and documented to thoroughly evaluate these additional part types.
