About
The Spark Minda Technical Centre, known as SMIT, is Minda Corporation's central engineering hub in the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park at Hinjawadi, Pune, consolidating the group's automotive electronics design, prototyping and test activity under one roof - and its NABL-accredited EMC laboratory is explicitly open to external customers, group and non-group alike, rather than serving only Minda's own products. The facility is purpose-built for automotive electronic sub-assemblies: a 1 metre semi-anechoic chamber for radiated emission and immunity measurement, an absorber-lined shielded enclosure with better than 90 dB shielding effectiveness, and separate shielded rooms for bulk current injection, conducted emission and electrostatic discharge work, alongside climatic chambers. Two details reflect a laboratory designed by people who run tests rather than specify them: high-definition cameras overlay live test parameters onto the video of the item under test, and optical transceivers carry communication into the chamber without compromising shielding - both solving the practical problem of monitoring an ESA's function during an immunity run. More than thirty-four EMC test types are offered, covering radiated emission and immunity, conducted emission, ESD, transient immunity, power supply variation, thermal testing, dielectric strength and insulation resistance, measured against ISO, CISPR, ECE R10, the Indian AIS standards, JASO and vehicle manufacturer specifications, on fully automated measurement systems. Specialisations are automotive electronic sub-assembly EMC, OEM specification programmes, combined EMC with climatic and electrical qualification, and interference diagnosis to avoid costly redesign.
