  • Term
    Definition
  • A signal or power source that varies with time, switching polarities.
  • A signal or power source that varies with time, switching polarities.
  • The level of the total noise in an area.
  • Temperature of the air surrounding a component.
  • A private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States.
  • A private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States.
  • A unit for measuring the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor. Current is defined as the amount of charge that flows past a give point, per unit of time.
  • A unit for measuring the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor. Current is defined as the amount of charge that flows past a give point, per unit of time.
  • An electronic device that increases the power of a signal.
  • One of the principal methods of transmitting audio, visual, or other types of information using radio waves, the relevant signal being superimposed onto a radio-frequency carrier wave. The frequency of the carrier wave remains unchanged but its amplitude is varied in accordance with the(...)

  • Continuous signal for which the time varying feature (variable) of the signal is a representation of some other time varying quantity.
  • A room designed to completely absorb reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves; a chamber that is insulated from exterior sources of noise.
  • Establishes test methods for evaluating the electrical and mechanical characteristics of wrist straps. It includes improved test methods and performance limits for evaluation, acceptance, and functional testing of wrist straps.
  • Establishes test methods for measuring the electrical resistance of worksurface materials used at workstations for protection of ESD susceptible items. It includes methods for evaluating and selecting materials, and testing new worksurface installations and previously installed worksurfaces.
  • Establishes the procedure for testing, evaluating, and classifying the ESD sensitivity of components to the defined MM. This standard was revised and replaced by ANSI/ESD STM5.2-2012.
  • Establishes the procedure for testing, evaluating, and classifying the ESD sensitivity of components to the defined CDM.
  • Recommends the parameters, procedures, and types of materials needed to establish an ESD grounding system for the protection of electronic hardware from ESD damage. This system is used for personnel grounding devices, worksurfaces, chairs, carts, floors, and other related equipment.
  • Measurement of the electrical resistance of various floor materials such as floor coverings, mats, and floor finishes is covered in this document. It provides test methods for qualifying floor materials before installation or application and for evaluating and monitoring materials after(...)
  • Three types of ESD awareness symbols are established by this document. The first one is to be used on a device or assembly to indicate that it is susceptible to electrostatic charge. The second is to be used on items and materials intended to provide electrostatic protection. The third symbol(...)
