EDS 20H Hand-held Electrostatic Discharge

2 Description

Any electrical equipment can be subject to electrostatic discharges from human operators or
from adjacent objects. The electrostatic discharge simulator EDS 20H reproduces this
phenomenon to evaluate the performance of electrical and electronic equipment.
There are specific test requirements that must be satisfied when conducting ESD testing.
These are noted in some detail in IEC/EN 61000-4-2, ISO 10605 and other standards.
Because of its modular design, EDS 20H can be adapted quickly and easily to perform
testing to any ESD standard.
All ESD testing should ideally be conducted in a Faraday cage or other suitable enclosure.
For small EUTs, a test table constructed only of wood must be used. This is covered with a
metallic horizontal coupling plane which in turn is connected to a ground reference plane by
.
2x470 resistors
kohm
The EUT should be mounted above the horizontal coupling plane on an isolation plate of
0.5mm thickness.
Vertical coupling planes are to be used to inject an ESD field into all four faces of a EUT.
Large floor standing equipment must be treated in a similar way but have an isolation plate
of 0.1m.
Note: Please refer to relative standard for details.
