Product Overview

The Kikusui KES4021 Electrostatic Discharge Simulator allows immunity testing on electrical and electronic devices by simulating a direct or indirect electrostatic discharge from a charged human operator.

Features of the Kikusui KES4021 ESD Tester include:

• Electrostatic discharge simulator that complies with the EN/IEC61000-4-2 standard
  • KES4021 is a slim, lightweight electrostatic discharge simulator that complies with the EN/IEC61000-4-2 standard. *
• Maximum testing voltage of ±30 kV exceeds all prescribed test levels
  • The simulator can produce a maximum testing voltage of ±30 kV, allowing testing at higher levels than those required by the IEC standard Level 4 (± 15 kV). This allows you to identify the limit voltages at which the product being tested either malfunctions or breaks down.
• Support of ISO 10605 standard (*1)
  • By fitting a different CR unit and discharge chip in the discharge gun, you can use the simulator to produce the waveform prescribed in the ISO 10605 standard, which specifies electrostatic discharge test methods for evaluating electronic modules for automotive use.
• Tip charge prevention feature
  • During a test, the high-voltage power remains in standby mode until you press the TRIGGER switch.
• Discharge Method: Contact Discharge and Air Discharge
• Set Voltage: 0.50 kV to 30 kV
• Polarity: Positive and Negative
• Energy Storage Capacitor: 150 pF ± 10% (replaceable)
• Discharge Resistor: 330 O ± 10% (replaceable)
• Charge Resistor: 50 MO
• Discharge Interval: 0.05 / 0.1s to 99.9s
• Number of Discharges: 1 to 999 / Continuous
• Trigger: Main Panel Trigger and Discharge Gun Trigger
• Discharge Current Waveform: Compliant with the IEC61000-4-2 standard
• Interface: RS-232C (optional)
• Power Supply: 100 V to 240 V AC (50 Hz to 60 Hz)

(*1)The main unit of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) simulator does not adopt floating output. The ISO10605 Standards specify that generators must feature floating output. However, for safety reasons, the KES4021 does not adopt floating output

A variety of discharge tips are available for use with the KES4021.
