Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Dispositions	G. DISPOSITIONS On May 27, 2024, Teradyne completed the sale of the Device Interface Solutions ("DIS") business, a component of the Semiconductor Test segment, to Technoprobe S.p.A. ("Technoprobe") for $85.0 million in cash, net of cash and cash equivalents sold, and a customary working capital adjustment. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $57.1 million recorded as 'Gain on sale of business' in the consolidated statement of operations. The transaction did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation, as it did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on operations and financial results.

The entire disclosure related to a disposal group. Includes, but is not limited to, a discontinued operation, disposal classified as held-for-sale or disposed of by means other than sale or disposal of an individually significant component.
