Shielded Bag Test Kit

Product Overview

Full Kit Designed to Test Shielded Bags
The PBT-531 is a complete system kit designed to evaluate the performance of electrostatic discharge shielded bags and other packaging materials.

Meets the Requirements of ANSI/ESD STM11.31 and IEC 61340-4-8
The portable shielded bag test system is capable of calculating the energy of the discharge pulse inside the shielded bag in accordance with ANSI/ESD STM11.31 and IEC 61340-4-8. It also meets the requirements of MIL-PRF-81705E.

All-in-One Shielded Bag Testing System
The PBT-531 includes an HBM Discharge Simulator, a fixture for the shielded bags or corrugated materials with a CT1 Current Probe embedded in the capacitive arm, an Oscilloscope capable of a 200 MHz single-shot bandwidth with software from Pico Technology and grounding accessories.

Designed for Shielded Bags up to 8" x 15"
The bag fixture includes markers to define the center of an 8" x 10" (200 mm x 250 mm) shielded bag for testing. A detachable extension of the base is also included to accommodate larger bags of up to 8" x 15".

Lighweight and Battery Operated for Optimum Portability
The PDS-510 HBM Discharge Simulator is designed to operate with rechargeable, nickel-metal hydride batteries or with a power supply. The PBT-531 comes in a well-designed, compact hard shell carrying case, making the system fully portable.

Note: Computer, Laptop or Tablet not included.
