>Looking for another opinion, I looked at the REO Handbook 9 >(http://www.reo.co.uk), where it referred to a list of exempt and >non-exempt connector pins. However, I can't seem to find such a list in >BS EN61000-4-2:1995. There isn't. Such a specific list would be out of place in a Basic EMC standard. It is something that should (but may not have been) addressed in product standards. The general rule for civilian equipment is that ESD is not applied directly to connector pins. See the third dashed item in clause 8.3 of BS EN 61000-4-2:1995, and the first four paragraphs of clause 8.3.1. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
