Electromagnetic compatibility - electrostatic discharge tests for automotive

Abstract

The international automotive ESD standard (ISO 10605: 2008) has significant differences from the commercial ESD testing standard (IEC 61000‑4‑2). Differences include the Human Body Model (HBM) used to simulate a person’s electrical network and the utilization of significantly higher discharge voltages, up to ±25kV air discharge. This article aims to examine the differences and consider why they exist. The test methods will be explained and the similarities between the automotive and commercial product standards also highlighted. A discussion will also be forwarded on why other non‑automotive products might be improved if they were designed to meet the automotive ESD standard and why this standard might be more appropriate in some non‑automotive situations than IEC 61000‑4‑2.
