ABSTRACT:
Method for determining the susceptibility of a protective device protected electronic assembly to electrostatic discharge events. The protective component is subjected to an electrostatic discharge event and the amount of kinetic energy transferred to the protective component during the electrostatic discharge event is determined. The susceptibility of the assembly to electrostatic discharge events is then determined based upon the amount of kinetic energy transferred to the protective component during the electrostatic discharge event.
