  • 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.
