Hello all ESD experts,
Per IEC 6100-4-2 Sec. 7.1.1 EUT is isolated from HCP (Horizontal Coupling Plane) by insulating object of 0.5mm thick. Standard does not define this Insulating object. Based on the different insulating materials the test results vary. Pass can be fail and fail can be passing. This is more relevant in memory cards like SD, CF Micro SD etc. These cards need to be tested in non operating condition. Just keeping it on the test table separated from the HCP with this IEC insulating object. Can some one really throw some light on this insulating object and intent of this test from the standards view?
