Thermo Keytek Minizap MZ15/EC for Direct, Indirect & Diagnostic ESD Testing

Product Documentation

Description

ESD is the most common cause of failure in computer based equipment. It accounts each year for hundreds of millions of dollars in downtime and repair costs. Fortunately, catastrophic failures are preventable and many manufacturers have R&D and manufacturing programs to assure that their products are ESD-resistant when shipped. Our top of the line ESD simulators are widely used in these programs.

However, the process of installing, interconnecting and networking of computers and peripheral equipment often produces new ESD susceptibilities leading to “hard” as well as “soft” failures – i. e., lost data bits, check sum errors, hang-ups etc. These can easily result in the all-too-common “no trouble found” field service reports.

The Thermo Keytek Minizap MZ15/EC for Direct, Indirect & Diagnostic ESD Testing generates simulation pulses which are real world, repeatable and correlatable. Thermo Fisher Scientific (Keytek) take pulse integrity, repeatability and correlativity to be the mandatory performance criteria for equipment used in implementing a company-wide ESD test program.With the MiniZap, Thermo KeyTek presents a family of ESD simulators with which the manufacturers of computers and other semiconductor-based equipment can implement a meaningful, dependable, company-wide program of ESD simulation testing with results that correlate throughout the industry.

IEC 61000-4-2 requires an ESD contact-mode current risetime lying between 0.7 and 1.0 ns, as measured on a 1 GHz (or 0.35 ns risetime) oscilloscope. However, real and reasonable worst-case ESD risetimes are less than 200 ps (which is displayed as 0.35 to 0.4 ns on the same 1 GHz scope).

Specifications of the Thermo Keytek Minizap MZ15/EC:

  • Contact Mode and Air Discharge Testing (Plus Optional E&H Field Diagnostics)
    • CONTACT MODE, for direct ESD tests:
      • With the IEC 61000-4-2 tip,Model TPC-2A, with specified 0.7 to 1.0 ns risetime
      • With the ANSI C63.16 “fastest” tip,Model TPC-1, with risetime measuring <0.4 ns.
    • AIR DISCHARGE MODE, for direct ESD tests:
      • With the IEC 61000-4-2 tip,Model TPA-2 with its slowed-down risetime
      • With a smaller, “fastest” air discharge time, Model TPA-1, for the most realistic air discharge simulation.
  • Voltage Range ±0.5 to >8 kV, Contact Mode; ±0.5 to 15 kV, Air Discharge
  • Air Discharge TRUE-ESD® (<0.3 ns nominal risetime up to 4 kV)
  • Contact Mode: FR/CI std <0.3 ns risetime independent of charge voltage; 3.75A/kV ± 10% peak, e.g. 30 A @ 8 kV
  • RC Networksz: 150 pF/330 ohm std
  • Lock On: Std (with safety interlock)
  • Rep Rate: Single shot as well as 1/sec and 20/sec repetitive operation

Configurations of the Thermo Keytek Minizap MZ15/EC:

  • MZEC1 includes fastest, real-world contact-mode and air discharge tip, standoff spacer.
  • MZEC2 adds Vertical Coupling Plane.
  • MZEC3 adds diagnostic fields.
  • MZEC4 adds calibrators.
  • AIR-DISCHARGE AND CONTACT-MODE SIMULATIONS
    • Contact-mode simulation, ±0.5 to ±8kV, and air discharge simulation ±0.5 to ±15kV; both single shot, or repetitive at 1/s and 20/s. Provides both the air discharge mode via IEC ball tip TPA-2 up to ±15kV, and contact mode with special IEC Omni-Tip™ assembly TPC-2A, up to >8kV. (Also includes True-ESD®, fastest air discharge tip, TPA-1.) The combination provides full conformance to and beyond IEC 1000-4-2 and ANSI C63.16. Uses digital display with 10V resolutions, and includes inter-locked safe, lock-on mode. Uses a 150 pF/330 ohm Discharge Network. Includes soft case, and rechargeable (internal) battery operation.
    • MZ-15/EC: Digital display indicates high voltage measured at the tip, to far better than the ±5% voltage accuracy required by both IEC 61000-4-2 and ANSI C63 standards
    • TPC-1: True-ESD® fastest-risetime contact-mode tip
    • TPF-1: Self-discharge tip
    • 50-MZ: Standoff spacer for air-discharge mode
  • INDIRECT ESD SIMULATION
    • VCP-1: Vertical Coupling Plane (VCP) 0.5m x 0.5m (19.7″ x 19.7″) plane, in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2 and ANSI C63.16 ESD test standards. Includes convenient bench-mount stand with mounting provisions for the MiniZap, and handles
  • E AND H FIELD SIMULATION
    • MZT-11: E-Field (static and dynamic electric field) Simulator Tip Assembly
    • MZT-12: H-Field (magnetic field) Simulator Tip Assembly
    • MCA-1: Hard Carrying Case (does not include space for VCP-1,HCP-1,BTS-1,TP-3
  • CALIBRATION ACCESSORIES
    • DCA-2: DC Output Calibration Attenuator
    • CTC-3: Coaxial current monitor: IEC 61000-4-2 and ANSI C63.16 coax monitor for ESD current waveform, with 1 GHz capability. Includes high-peak-power attenuator and low loss scope cable. IEC and ANSI require mounting the target in a 1.5m x 1.5m plane, which is not included. See TP-3 in item (7) if the Target Plane is required, or fabricate one on site. (See IEC 1000-4-2 for CTC-3 mounting dimensions.)
    • FCS-1: Field and Corona Sensor Group: including Common Monitor Unit HEC-1, H-Field sensor HFS-1, E-field sensor EFS-1 and Pre-Discharge corona sensor CCS-1
  • ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: These options are not included in any MZ-15/EC Model Groups. Instead, they are available at special prices when purchased along with any MZ-15/EC Model Group. Note that shipping expenses for either large plane may be quite high, simply because of its size.
  • TP-3: Full, 1.5m x 1.5m (59” x 59”) IEC-801-2 or 1000-4-2, and ANSI C63.16 Target Plane, for mounting the CTC-3 coaxial target
  • HCP-1: Horizontal Coupling Plane (HCP), 0.8m x 1.6m (31.5” x 63”) for use on non-conducting tabletop under a small EUT, as per IEC 61000-4-2, and ANSI C63.16. Includes one roll of <0.5mm thick, static-dissipative sheet insulator
