The dependability and durability of electronic devices are seriously threatened by electrostatic discharge (ESD). The necessity for accurate and effective ESD testing grows as technology develops. With its cutting-edge ESD simulators and automated testing methods that guarantee product robustness and compliance, Electro-Tech Methods, Inc. (ETS) is a leader in this field.
Understanding the Importance of ESD Testing
Electronic component failures brought on by ESD incidents may be latent or immediate, resulting in expensive recalls, unhappy customers, and possible safety risks. To reduce these dangers, strict ESD testing procedures must be used during the design and production stages. ETS offers complete solutions to replicate actual ESD situations, guaranteeing that devices can endure them without degrading.
Advanced ESD Simulators from ETS
- A wide variety of ESD simulators designed to meet different testing needs are available from ETS: ESD Gun Model 930D: This flexible simulator can accommodate various RC networks, such as Human Body Model (HBM) and IEC standards, and produces discharge pulses between ±100V and ±26kV. It’s perfect for testing medical equipment, automobile parts, and consumer electronics.
- PinPulseTM ESD Simulator Model 9910: With accurate voltage changes as tiny as 1V, this simulator is ideal for bench-top applications and can test devices with up to 128 pins. It’s very helpful for determining how susceptible microelectronic components are to ESD.
- PurePulse/PinScan Automated ESD Test System Model 9910: This method effectively checks multi-pin devices by combining PinPulse technology with automated scanning, detecting weaknesses using post-discharge curve-trace analysis.
Automated Testing Systems for Enhanced Efficiency
In addition to speeding up the procedure, automation in ESD testing guarantees accuracy and uniformity. By providing configurable testing sequences, ETS’s automated systems, such as the PurePulse 2-pin ESD Tester, reduce human error and boost throughput. In high-volume industrial settings where speed and dependability are crucial, these systems are indispensable.
Comprehensive Testing and Consulting Services
In addition to equipment, ETS offers a range of services to help manufacturers: Independent ESD Testing
- Laboratory: To guarantee that products fulfill industry requirements, ETS provides third-party testing services to businesses without internal testing resources.
- Material and Product Testing: To assist clients in choosing suitable materials and creating durable products, ETS tests materials and completed goods for ESD susceptibility.
- Consulting Services: Skilled consultants help create ESD control plans, train employees, and resolve current problems while promoting a culture of dependability and quality.
Support for Standardization and Compliance
It’s critical to keep ESD testing equipment accurate. ETS provides ISO 17025 calibration services to guarantee accurate measurements from instruments. ETS also helps companies comply with standards, including IEC 61000-4-2 and ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001, which promotes market access and consumer confidence.
Customized Solutions for All Sectors
ETS has experience in many fields:
- Electronics: Improving product durability by making sure consumer electronics can resist common ESD incidents.
- Automotive: Testing sensors and airbag systems to avoid ESD-related problems.
- Medical Devices: Verifying that life-saving equipment is resistant to electrostatic disruptions.
