Sorry for this tardy reply - been a little busy of late.

Just a note of caution. If you are intending to run some form of SIR test,
then ensure that the dummy components that you use are exactly that -
plastic dummy not real component rejects - it does make a difference.

As a guide, you should specify Dummy components for SIR testing.

Hope this helps
