Schaffner / Teseq NSG 438 ESD Gun Simulator System
The Schaffner / Teseq NSG 438 Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Gun Simulator System generates standard-conform discharge pulses of 200V to 30kV, in both air discharge and contact discharge operation. The full range of parameter setting possibilities for polarity, pulse repetition, counter functions, breakdown detection, etc., remains fully available, all the way up to the maximum discharge voltage setting.
Being well-balanced and pistol-shaped ensures that the Schaffner / Teseq NSG 435 ESD Gun is natural and comfortable in use. The control elements and display can always be seen by the operator, current operating conditions are constantly displayed.
The NSG 438 ESD Gun by Schaffner / Teseq fulfills the requirements of all known ESD standards. The basic model is type approved and calibrated in conformity with IEC/EN 61000-4-2. By adding appropriate network modules, other standards can be accommodated such as ISO 10605, which calls for elevated pulse voltages of up to 25kV, as well as various MIL standards. Other applications can be accommodated through the use of special networks.
Industry specialists are currently working on a revision of the ESD standards and have sent recommendations for consideration to ANSI and the IEC. The proposals concern both, a more precise definition of the calibration methods, in addition to a tightening of the specifications pertaining to the pulse parameters themselves. The Schaffner / Teseq NSG 438 ESD Gun system already
meets these proposed requirements.
Teseq / Schaffner NSG 438 Features:
- Air and contact discharge 0.2kV to 30 kV
- Touch panel display controlled
- Battery powered
- Compliant with all known standards (IEC, ANSI, SAE, ISO, Mil etc)
- Interchangeable network modules
- Discharge detector
