The Haefely PESD 3010 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Simulator / Generator Gun has been replaced by the Haefely ONYX 30 kV ESD Test Generator. The Haefely PESD 3010 is still suitable for most ESD immunity test applications and can be rented or purchased at an economical price compared to current model 30 kV ESD simulators. Please note quantities are limited as parts are no longer available and units must be scrapped once functionality fails.
Haefely ONYX 30 kV Description:
Bringing dissimilar insulation materials together and then parting them creates electrostatic charges. The resultant electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause failures in electronic circuits. There are two principal methods of discharge: Air discharge and contact discharge. Contact discharge is the preferred test method because test results are more reproducible.
There are many standards which require discharge component (Resistor & Capacitor) values other than those described in the IEC/EN 61000-4-2 standard. With PESD 3010 it is possible to meet these requirements due to the changeable R&C modules.
PESD 3010 features a unique NO CONTACT detection circuit. During contact discharge tests, PESD 3010 continuously monitors if ESD pulses are really discharged to the EUT (Equipment under Test). In case of no contact to the EUT, the operator receives a warning message in the LCD display. This prevents the user from potentially wrong test results.
PESD 3010 has a highly ergonomic design. This includes a firm handle that insures safe and comfortable operation under any circumstances, and dedicated, large conventional pushbuttons for easy and convenient setting of all test parameters.
For long running tests, a screw socket on the bottom enables to mount the gun on a standard tripod.
