Electrostatic discharge are likely to affect or even destroy electronic components and circuits. EM TEST offers ESD test generators for air and contact discharges up to 30kV as per EN/IEC 61000-4-2 as well as for automotive test requirements:

Application

dito - the ultimate ESD tester

Electrostatic discharges either from a human body to any other part or between two different objects can cause persistent disturbances or even destruction to sensitive electronics or controls. Voltages of several 1,000 volts are generated.

dito is the most advanced ESD tester to simulate ESD pulses as per EN/IEC 61000-4-2 and other standards requirements.

Benefits

dito - The most versatile ESD tester

dito is best designed for the different requirements for testing ESD. Its powerful battery allows to generate more than 50,000 pulses at 16.5kV. This is enough for more than a full day's job. Its different menues lead the user through standard tests, helps to evaluate the test points and allows to find susceptibility levels.

It is unlike any other ESD generators. Its ergonomic design is recognised to be more user-friendly. There is no part of dito that hides the discharge tip while watching the display or operating the dito. You see where you point the tip no matter how you direct dito to the DUT.

The discharge voltage is measured and recorded. Discharge is stopped automatically when battery voltage becomes low. The user is informed when dito cannot charge properly. All this helps to assure reliable and reproducible tests without any question mark and doubt.

Discharge tips and discharge networks can easily be changed without disassembling the dito; simply remove one and plug-on another tip or module. The discharge modules are automatically recognised and the R/C configuration is shown in the display. You just can't use a wrong discharge network!

Application

ESD 30N - Generates ESD pulses above EN/IEC 61000-4-2 test levels

Electrostatic discharges either from a human body to any other part or between two different objects can cause persistent disturbances or even destruction to sensitive electronics or controls.

ESD 30N is an ESD tester to simulate ESD pulses at higher voltages up to 30kV in both air and contact discharge mode. It therefore satisifies requirements exceeding the EN/IEC 61000-4-2 test levels and complies to automotive test applications.

Benefits

Smartest Solution for Automotive Transient Testing

The ESD 30N electrostatic discharge simulator is an easy-to-use tester. It consists of a power supply unit and the discharge gun, operated from the discharge gun. It generates electrostatic discharges up to 30kV in both air and contact discharge mode. The discharge tips can easily be changed. The discharge networks can be easily changed as they are plugged into the discharge gun. The actual discharge network in use is recognised by the controls and indicated in the display.

The ESD 30N is either mains supplied or supplied by a DC source. Even battery powered operation is possible. Battery operation becomes relevant for testing e.g. as per DC-11224 or VW TL 824 66, ESD Operating Test, where the ground of the ESD generator is connected to the Field Coupling Plane and the Horizontal Coupling plane but not directly to the Reference Ground Plane. Additionally, a fiber optic link is offered as an option to communicate with the ESD 30N separating the sensitive computer from the test set-up and to avoid ground loops.
