Schaffner NSG 438 ESD Simulator System
Top Class ESD Simulation
The Schaffner NSG 438 ESD 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 NSG 435 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 by Schaffner 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 NSG 438 system already
meets these proposed requirements.
