Explosives ESD Test Device

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a significant factor in both the premature failure of electronic equipment and the ignition of explosive devices. ESD has become a common cause of microelectronic circuit failure, with many devices being sensitive to less than 30 Volts. Since it is not always possible to control the environment where electronic or explosive devices are used, the burden of product reliability falls upon the manufacturer to design and build equipment that will reduce its susceptibility to ESD.
