  • PWB ESD discharger
    Patent number: 6407895
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for minimizing or eliminating electrostatic discharge damage to circuitry components on printed wiring boards. The method comprises the steps of maximizing the electric field between an input connector pin and a discharger and minimizing the impedance value between the input connector pin and discharger so that electrostatic discharge will preferentially jump from the input connector pin to the discharger, where the electrostatic discharge energy may be dissipated without adversely affecting the circuit components.
