What is an ESD Simulator Gun
An ESD Simulator Gun is an electronic device used to simulate electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. It generates high-voltage pulses that mimic the effects of static electricity discharges. The gun discharges through a probe, which is then directed towards the device under test to assess its immunity to electrostatic interference. This helps manufacturers evaluate and improve their products’ resistance to ESD damage.
