ESD in the production environment
Depending on the immunity level of the LED board, there is a minimum set of
measures that have to be implemented when handling LED boards. ESD measures
are required in a production environment where handling can exceed the ESD
immunity level. Furthermore, products that are susceptible to ESD must be packed
and delivered in ESD-safe packaging.
The purpose of an effective ESD-control strategy is to reduce line failures, nal
inspection failures and eld failures.
ESD specications
Philips designed HBMt module Gen3 products to be robust when exposed to ESD.
The maximum permitted contact discharge level and air discharge level, according
to IEC 61000-4-2 (HBM 150pF + 330Ω), is 8 kV contact and 15 kV air.
Servicing and installing luminaires
It is highly recommended that installers are instructed not to touch the LED
components and to use earthed arm straps to prevent ESD damage during
installation and maintenance.
ESD consultancy
Independent ESD consultancy companies can advise and supply adequate tools and
protection guidance.
