ESD Probes

ESD Measuring

ESD sensors and electrodes are the critical measurement interfaces in any electrostatic protection program - converting surface charge, field strength, and ionization balance into verifiable electrical signals. High-quality field meters typically measure electrostatic fields from 0 to ±20 kV at distances of 25-300 mm, while surface resistance probes operate across a resistance range of 10¹ to 10¹² Ω in compliance with IEC 61340-5-1 and ANSI/ESD S7.1. Ionizer performance electrodes verify offset voltage to within ±5 V and discharge times below 2 seconds per IEC 61340-5-1 requirements.

As a specialist distributor for ESD measurement and test equipment, esd.equipment stocks 33 sensors and electrode types from leading manufacturers - all verified against DIN EN 61340-5-1, ANSI/ESD S20.20, and IEC 61010-1 for safe use in EPA-controlled environments. Whether you require replacement electrodes for existing test instruments, standalone field sensors for process monitoring, or ionizer verification probes, this range covers the full measurement chain for a compliant ESD control program.
