Q
We have been asked by one of our customers to do acceleration tests on
ADXL203CE Accelerometers for a space mission. In order to do test in the
required axis, we need to place the components to the inside of the accelerator
on their lids. We are considering placing magnetic plates on the outside of the
accelerator, but we need to know if the metal making up the lid is magnetic.

I looked up the Materials Declaration statement on the ADI website and the
document does indeed contain the composition of the lid.
Please view this document at:

The composition is 42% Nickel, 58% iron.
