If it's the signal lines: Serial impedance (L-R-ferrite) combined with 2 fast diodes to supply and ground.
If its ground (shell) better ground the shell with (metal) enclosure If you have no ground .... re-design ;<))) Without a full ground plane in the PCB you will have a tough time fixing. Gert Gremmen Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Namens Amund Westin Verzonden: dinsdag 25 mei 2010 23:15 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: ESD - some basic hints pls I have a 24VDC operated ITE / radio unit. It fails on 6kV (contact discharge) applied to RX port. Microprocessor restarts. Any basic advice how to protect the unit? I have no ground in my system.
