How does an ESD simulator work?
An ESD simulator, also known as an ESD gun, is a handheld unit used to test the immunity of devices to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD pulses are fast, high-voltage pulses created when two objects with different electrical charges come into close proximity or contact.
Why ESD test is done?
Test engineers perform ESD testing to guarantee that their products achieve immunity to these discharges, whether they are introduced to currents from the human body, machines or charged devices.
What is EFT test?
EFT testing is an immunity standard used to test how electrical and electronic equipment operate under interference. EFT testing involves several tests to check the compatibility of a device with fast transients such as power line transients and electrostatic discharge.
What is human body model for ESD?
The human-body model (HBM) is the most commonly used model for characterizing the susceptibility of an electronic device to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The model is a simulation of the discharge which might occur when a human touches an electronic device.
What is a ESD tester?
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 EFT immunity?
What causes EFT?
An Electrical Fast Transient (EFT)/Burst events occurs when Inductive loads such as relays, switch contactors, or heavy-duty motors produce bursts of narrow high-frequency transients on the power distribution system when de-energized.
What is EMI and EMC testing?
EMI/EMC testing indicates to engineers whether a device is compatible with its electromagnetic environment and determines whether the device will produce electromagnetic interference, or EMI, in real-world situations.
Why do you need an electrostatic discharge simulator?
Get quick deliveries on a variety of systems and RC networks. US Distrib. ESD simulators, also known as ESD guns, provide a cost-efficient solution for electrostatic discharge testing. This event is caused by the quick release of electrical energy between two objects that have a potentially different voltage.
What are the standards for electrostatic discharge testing?
Our test systems come with current ISO 17025 ensuring compliance. Common testing standards include IEC 61000-4-2, MIL-STD-883, ISO 10605, and many others. We carry a diverse set discharge networks including automotive, military/avionic, and human body model testing to facilitate customer testing requirements.
