Hi Adam (in Atlanta!) Answers embedded:
AA> Would you be able to share a bit more context? Chas Sure! AA Are you interested in a basic distribution of discharge event vs. voltage (lots of parameters which affect this)? Chas: Yes that is precisely what I am looking for. I realize that this is highly dependent on location so this may be a difficult ask. I recall that there was a push to change the #of zaps in an ESD spec depending on the %likelihood of occurrence. So for example, zaps at 1kV would be given greater weight (in # of zaps) than 15kV. For those who remember him, TJ Ritenour was leading the charge. Ring any bells? AA Catastrophic or latent failures or both? Chas: Surely that depends on the voltage level and test location? No just the % likelihood of a zap. AA Particular classes of devices/systems/environments? Chas:: Good Q. I am particularly interested in ITE equipment. AA Detectable by a human or down at the threshold of laser diodes and a few other types of devices? Chas: Yes absolutely. The lower voltages are more likely to occur. Thanks for your interest Adam (in Atlanta ☺) Thanks Charles Grasso (w) 303-706-5467 From: Adam Dixon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2018 7:40 PM To: Grasso, Charles <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] Frequency of Occurrence of ESD with respect to Voltage This message originated outside of DISH and was sent by: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Hi, Charles, Would you be able to share a bit more context?

Depending on what is of most interest, there might be different information sources (experts like Dr. Pommerenke, Doug Smith and others, the EOS/ESD Association, some journal papers and masters/PhD theses, etc.). Interested to know more.
