ESD Immunity Testing Services
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) immunity testing verifies that your product can withstand the sudden transfer of static electricity that occurs during normal handling and operation. Compatible Electronics provides comprehensive IEC 61000-4-2 ESD testing services.
What is ESD Immunity Testing?
ESD events occur when accumulated static charge suddenly discharges to or from electronic equipment. These events can cause malfunctions, data corruption, or permanent damage. ESD immunity testing ensures your product can handle these real-world conditions.
