Overview
About the Minizap:
The Thermo-Keytek MZ15/EC Minizap has been an industry accepted and one of the most popular ESD simulators for IEC 61000-4-2 of over two decades.
The KeyTek MiniZap® test system is a self-contained ESD simulator that enables users to perform direct, indirect & diagnostic ESD testing via interchangeable plug-in tips. ESD is the most common cause of failure in computer-based equipment, and susceptibilities often occur during installation and networking.
The diagnosis and remedy for ESD failures typically require test procedures developed in R&D, but implemented by QC, manufacturing, and field service. Practical and reliable, the KeyTek MiniZap ESD simulator and options are designed specifically for demanding applications such as these. It generates ESD simulation pulses that are real world, repeatable and correlatable – mandatory performance criteria for a company-wide ESD test program.
