5.2.5 Discharge tips
Before touching the discharge tips to change them, switch the ONYX tester off and wait for a few
seconds so that the impulse capacitor can discharge internally.
Do not touch the tips while the “HVon” is displayed on the touch screen, indicating that the capacitor
is charged. Any contact with the test tips during this stage will result in electrostatic discharge.
The ONYX simulator is supplied with one contact and one air discharge tip. Additional tips such as 30mm air discharge
and fast rise time tips are available as an option.
The 30mm air discharge tip ensures a more stable rise time of the pulse above 15kV.
The fast rise time tip reduces the rise time of the ESD pulse down to 0.3ns.
Please refer to section "Accessories and Options" for ordering details.
Because of the sharp edge of the contact discharge tip, we highly recommend that you handle this
part with care to avoid unnecessary injuries.
