Chapter and verse from MIL-STD-464C: “5.8.3 Ordnance subsystems.
Ordnance subsystems shall not be inadvertently initiated or dudded by a 25 kilovolt ESD caused by personnel handling. Compliance shall be verified by test (such as MIL-STD-331 or AECTP-500, Category 508 Leaflet 2), discharging a 500 picofarad capacitor through a 500 ohm resistor with a circuit inductance not to exceed 5 microhenry to the ordnance subsystem (such as electrical interfaces, enclosures, and handling points.” Ken Javor Phone: (256) 650-5261 ________________________________ From: "Price, Edward" <[email protected]> List-Post: [email protected] Date: Tue, 3 May 2011 07:12:52 -0700 To: <[email protected]> Conversation: ESD Models Subject: ESD Models Has anyone heard of an ESD model that uses a 500 pF capacitor discharging through a 500 Ohm resistor? Does this description have a name and some associated military or commercial standard? Thanks in advance!
