The types of ESD test/measurement equipment mentioned most often as currently in use and planned for purchase by T&M World readers are ground strap testers/monitors and resistance meters. The average ...

The second half of Designing Electronic Equipment for ESD Immunity will run in the August issue of PCD. It will cover such issues as cable connectors, suppressors, component selection, “watchdog ...

The ESD/EOS Association defines conductive flooring as floor materials with a range of resistivity of one thousand to 1 million ohms; dissipative flooring has a resistivity range of one million to one ...

With the test subject wearing ESD control footwear and standing on an ESD control floor, measure the resistance from the hand to the selected ground point using 10 V for the test voltage (Figure 1).

Machine Model Machine model (MM) testing simulates ESD that may occur through contact with a machine or mechanical piece of equipment.

Hooked up to an earthing strap, the luxury watch also passed a basic ESD test successfully. [Daniel] notes that while this is a fun experiment, using properly rated safety equipment is best.
