Investigation of Techniques to Reduce Electrostatic Discharge Susceptibility of Hermetically Sealed EEDS

Abstract

Ten different techniques were investigated to increase the safety of hermetically sealed Navy EEDs to human electrostatic discharge. The application of a conductive coating containing carbon particles was found to be the simplest and least expensive of the techniques explored. The coating can protect the EED from repeated discharges and can withstand four weeks of exposure to MIL-STD-331 Test 105.1 with no deterioration.
