\"Testing

Using an ESD pistol<\/p><\/div>\n

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) testing is an essential part of product design.\u00a0 Static electricity if familiar to all of us, from the shock we get when walking on a carpet, to the trick we use to amuse children by rubbing a balloon on our clothing and sticking it to the side of our head.<\/p>\n

We all know that static electricity is bad for sensitive electronics, in any lab we attach an earthing strap to our wrist when we work with components.\u00a0 In the real world, however people don\u2019t wear ESD wrist straps, so our designs must be able to withstand real-world shocks.\u00a0 In addition, we must make sure that our device doesn\u2019t generate and cause static shocks.\u00a0 We don\u2019t know where our devices might be used, at the extreme end it might be in a dusty environment where a stray spark could cause a catastrophic explosion, if we make a large number of faulty IoT devices and deploy them remotely, they will fail and cause us high unbudgeted costs in unplanned maintenance visits.<\/p>\n

Testing effectively to the right standard<\/h2>\n
\"certification

Which tests?<\/p><\/div>\n

ESD testing can be performed in two ways:\u00a0 in the contact method the test instrument is in contact with the target device; in the air method there is a free air gap.\u00a0 The latter case is more realistic, however it needs to take into account the real world effects of heat, humidity and distance and any movement relative to the charge, making the test more complex.<\/p>\n

There are many different ESD test specifications, so understanding the correct ones to use in testing your device is important to make sure it is fit for purpose in your chosen application area.<\/p>\n

Trust the experts.\u00a0 How akorIoT can help<\/h2>\n

The akorIoT team is highly experienced in ESD testing and understanding of sound design principles to eliminate it.\u00a0 We can either help you during the design phase of your project or guide you through the testing and any troubleshooting and remediation required with an existing design.\u00a0 Working with akorIoT will minimise the risks of faulty design and the costs of rework or failures in the field due to poor ESD performance.<\/p>\n

The team offer a range of services to help you get the best possible performance from an antenna, contact us today<\/a> find out how we can help.<\/p>\n
