Strange behavior of the list-server. Although I got some out-of-office replies, neither I or my fellows in the office (members of the list) have received the message posted 24 h ago. I'll try again... Dear colleagues, As part of a PCB design required to be compliant with EN60950, we want to

EMC Shielding/Coating on Plastic Enclosures?

2003-05-07 Thread peter.valent...@us.datex-ohmeda.com
Is anyone aware of some possible new regulatory environmental requirements that would apply to conductive shielding/coating. This conductive coating/paint/vapor deposition is typically applied to the inside surface of plastic enclosures to assist in meeting EMC regulatory requirements for

Dear Group, Could any of you who have worked with a test house in Brazil that is accredited to do Anatel testing (and that you are happy with) forward me the contact details of that test house off line please Thank you Kevin Harris This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety

RE: ESD gun verification

2003-05-07 Thread Pommerenke, David
Brain, I like to repeat: For verification you do not need calibrated equipment or full bandwidth. The verification is just a method to increase trust in the calibration. If you use some homemade current target and a 500 MHz scope, you will get a pretty good picture of the waveform and detect

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. The code defines Continuous Load: A load where the maximum current is expected to continue for 3 hours or more. Plug use is not a condition of the definition. I think you will find this is to limit the time and temperature of branch circuit cables and

Dear David: Thank you for concise and reasoned response to my questions. The IEC Committee Draft on ESD (CDV) is a weighty document, and deserves many more hours of study and thought that I have been able to give it at this point. I agree that the trend toward faster processor speeds will
