Why ESD test is done?

ESD testing is an electromagnetic compatibility test (EMC test). ESD testing simulates various electrostatic impacts that equipment might experience either during transit or operation. An electrostatic discharge test determines whether a product is in compliance with its ESD protective area and procedures.

What is ESD immunity test?

ESD Testing These short bursts of energy can cause a number of problems, such as IC port damage, communication failures, damage to LCD screens and more. ESD testing is performed with EMC test equipment that creates a short burst of energy, typically at 4kV and 8kV.

What does ESD mean in electronics?

Electrostatic Discharge
When two electrically charged objects, such as the human body and an electronic device come into contact with each other, static electricity is discharged. This phenomenon is called ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). ESD generated from the human body can be of the order of several thousand volts.

Which is the best simulator gun for ESD testing?

An overview of the Thermo Scientific Keytek Minizap MZ-15/EC ESD simulator gun using the air discharge, contact discharge, and self discharge (for radiated ESD) tips. Also see indirect ESD test to a horizontal coupling plane per IEC 61000-4-2 standard for CE Mark compliance.

What do you need to know about ESD guns?

Pre-certify, troubleshoot or perform any other verification of your product having an ESD gun readily available. With a wide range of simulators up to 30kV, as well as Discharge Networks to meet military and automotive standards – ESD Simulation Guns for IEC 61000-4-2, ISO 10605 and other standards to simulate electrostatic discharge phenomena.

Where can I buy an electrostatic discharge simulator?

Buy new Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) simulators and equipment for the sole US distributor for Teseq & EM Test. Get a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty with purchases. Rent and buy automotive ESD test equipment designed for compliant testing to international & OEM test requirements.

Is there a noiseken ess-200ax 30kV electrostatic discharge simulator?

The Noiseken ESS-200AX 30kV ESD electrostatic simulator was a very popular unit but has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Current models are the ESS-B3011 and ESS-S3011. The ESS-200AX is still suitable for precompliance testing to IEC/EN 61000-4-2 or general test and debugging for ESD immunity.
