How to use an ESD gun for ESD testing?

Image
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) gun is a type of testing device that is also known as an electrostatic discharge (ESD) simulator. Its purpose is to generate controlled and repeatable electrical transients in electronic products, such as LED lights, in order to evaluate the products' resistance to electrostatic discharge. In order to offer a broad overview of how to utilize an ESD gun for ESD testing, the following procedures have been provided: Configure the electrostatic discharge (ESD) gun Prior to conducting the test, the ESD gun has to be configured by first connecting it to a power source and then modifying its settings in accordance with the particular specifications of the test. The parameters include the time of the discharge in addition to the voltage and current waveforms that are used during the discharge. The ESD gun has to be properly grounded in order to guarantee that the electrical discharge will be carried out in a secure and precise manner. Connecting the ESD p
