ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE. ESD
Antistatic Property. the reduction of triboelectrlc
charge generation. Antistatic materials minimize the generation of static
charges. This property is not dependent upon material resistivity.
Catastrophic Failure. A failure resulting in the permanent loss of a
critical function.
Charged Device Model. A model characterizing a particular ESD failure
mechanism in which an item isolated from ground is charged and is subsequently
discharged causing a short duration discharge pulse.
Classification of ESDS Parts.
ESD Class 1: Susceptible to damage from ESD voltages greater than O to
1,999 Volts.
ESD Class 2: Susceptible to damage from ESD voltages of 2,000 to 3,999
volts.
ESD Class 3: Susceptible to damage from ESD voltages of 4,000 to 15,999
volts.
ESD Class non-ESD Sensitive: Susceptible to damage from ESD voltages above 16,000 volts.
