Glossary

 

 

Conductive Material: Material with volume resistivity less than 10^5 Ohm cm, and surface resistivity less than 10^6 Ohms/square.

 

Conductivity: Ability of a material to conduct electricity.

 

Decay Time: Time required for voltage to reduce to a specified percentage of its initial value.

 

Static Decay Rate: Decay time measured by the amount of time it takes material to dissipate a 5000V charge to 500V.

 

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): The transfer of static electricity when two objects come into contact.

 

Electrostatic Overstress (EOS): Exposure of an electronic component or assembly to current or voltage greater than its maximum rating.

 

Static Dissipative: A material having a surface resistivity greater than 1 X 10^6 Ohms/square, and smaller than 1 x 10^12 Ohms/square.

 

Crosstalk(XT): Phenomenon by which a signal transmitted on one circuit or channel of a transmission system creates an undesired effect in another circuit or channel.
