Abstract :
Two unusual forms of ESD, internal chair discharges and multiple small metal-to-metal discharges from "jingling change", have caused severe field problems in electronic equipment. These forms of ESD are not covered by any current standard. A review of previous work, new measured data, and examples of problems that have occurred are presented.
