    Electrostatic sensitive component.<\/p>

    EBP<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

    Earth Bonding Point<\/strong> is the marked connection for all ESD earthing measures; must not be used as a protective earth conductor.<\/p>

    EPO<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

    The Electrostatic Protected Area<\/strong> is an area equipped with ESD protection measures in which ESDS can be manufactured, processed, packaged, transported or stored without the risk of electrostatic damage.<\/p>

    ESD<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

    Electrostatic Discharge<\/strong>, is the electrostatic discharge as potential equalization between charged bodies through direct contact or flashover.<\/p>

    ESD models<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

    Idealized models are used in an attempt to simulate real ESD discharges and define test methods for determining component sensitivity. The most important models are HBM, CDM and MM. <\/p>

    • HBM (Human Body Model)<\/strong>
      Discharge of a charged person onto a component.
      The HBM is described in detail in the standard DIN EN 61340-3-1 \/ESD STM 5.1<\/li>
    • MM (Machine Model)<\/strong>
      Discharge of a charged, insulated conductor onto a component.
      The MM is described in detail in the standard DIN EN 61340-3-2 \/ESD STM 5.2.<\/li>
    • CDM (Charged Device Model)<\/strong>
      Discharge of a component charged by induction.
      The CDM is described in detail in the ANSI \/ESD STM 5.3 standard.<\/li><\/ul>

      ESDS (Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Device)<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

      Designation for components or assemblies that can be damaged by electrostatic discharges during handling, processing or transportation.<\/p>

      Electrostatic charge<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

      Electrostatic charging is caused by friction or separation of materials, also known as “triboelectricity”. The strength and polarity of the charge essentially depends on the materials and the ambient humidity. <\/p>

      MM (Machine Model)<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

      Discharge of a charged, insulated conductor onto a component.
      The MM is described in detail in the standard DIN EN 61340-3-2 \/ESD STM 5.2.<\/p>

      Resistance measurement<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

      Measuring method for resistance measurement (ESD):<\/p>
