SAE J1113/13: Electromagnetic Compatibility Measurement Procedure for Vehicle Components - Immunity to Electrostatic Discharge

Scope of SAE J1113/13

This SAE Standard specifies the test methods and procedures necessary to evaluate electrical components intended for automotive use to the threat of Electrostatic Discharges (ESDs). It describes test procedures for evaluating electrical components on the bench in the powered mode and for the packaging and handling non-powered mode.

A procedure for calibrating the simulator that is used for electrostatic discharges is given in Appendix A.

An example of how to calculate the RC Time Constant is given in Appendix B.

Functional Performance Status Classifications for immunity to ESD and Sensitivity classificatins for ESD sensitive devices are given in Appendix C.

Revision History

SAE J1113/13 (Also known as SAE J1113-13) was originally released in 1995. A final version, deemed "Stabilized" was released in February 2015 declaring no further updates are anticipated.
