Electrostatic discharge detector and display

摘要

A detector for detecting electrostatic discharge events in an electronic component, assembly or system and including a display element which produces an immediate indication on exposure to a change in voltage level, an electrostatic discharge sensor, and circuit means for connecting said sensor to said display element. In one embodiment, the detector and the board or other device to be monitored are mounted in a housing having a visual access window with the display element of the detector viewable through the access window and with the detector positioned at the electronic device being monitored.
