Machine Model

As the architecture of electronics changes so too will the requirements for ESD control.  With the ever increasing demand for faster, lighter, and smaller (and more expensive in some cases) electronics the requirements for protecting these new devices from ESD events becomes even more critical. In Charvaka Duvvury & Harald Gossner’s article “ESD target levels:…

An excerpt from Terry Welsher’s InCompliance article titled – The “Real” Cost of ESD Damage about using “split lot” experiments to determine the effectiveness of ESD control when manufacturing electronics. “At the time of the first EOS/ESD symposium in 1979 there were few mature ESD programs, but many companies were trying to establish them. Some of…
