Electrostatic Discharge

Pre-Testing IEC 61000-4-2 Application Note

The purpose of the ESD immunity test - IEC 61000-4-2 is to test the immunity of electrical/electronic equipment to an electrostatic discharge. The test simulates an ESD generated from an operator or person directly touching the equipment or being adjacent to the equipment.

The many benefits of pre-testing

The ESD immunity test requires very little equipment and can be performed on the bench - depending on the size of the EUT. Consequently, many product manufacturers choose to perform ESD pre-testing in-house, with the benefit of being able to find EMC issues with a new product before going to a Test Lab for certification. EMC pre-testing minimizes the risk of increased project timescales and unplanned engineering costs.
