Abstract :
An experimental study of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) characteristics for the charged human body in close approach to various sizes and orientations of electronic circuit packs near and away from a horizontal ground plane was conducted. Calculations based on measured capacitance coefficients provide a comparison of the relative probabilities and severities of the ESD event.
