Dear colleagues, The unpowered product is required to be insulated from the ground plane. The product is NOT grounded.
It is subjected to a number of discharges at a rate of 1 - 10 seconds. If the charge does not neutralise before the next discharge what happens and why is this test done in this manner? The same product (and arrangement) receives discharges to each connector pin. To ease applying the discharge to small pins a short single pin extender is used. The procedure is to remove the extender after fulfilling the discharge requirements and use it for the next. It is removed by hand. Any comments? I would appreciate your views and comments.
