Abstract

ESD strikes can be suppressed by placing ESD protection devices along ESD current paths. As primary ESD protection on PCBs, spark gaps are cheap and take little space, but the breakdown voltage is not low enough and the lag time can be too long to protect the circuit. The effect of adding carbon and non linear polymers to the spark gap is investigated in this paper.
