• EOS (Electrical
Overstress) is the
exposure of a
component or PCB
board to a current
or voltage beyond
its maximum
ratings. This
exposure may or Fig 4: EOS on a damaged RS232C transceiver
may not result in a
catastrophic failure.

Materials
• Refers to voltage
being induced into
the board or
component by
contact, resulting in
current transfer
through the
component or Fig 5: Current flow resulting from Induced

What is Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)?
• Electromagnetic
Interference is a
disturbance that
affects an electrical
circuit, due to either
electromagnetic
induction or
electromagnetic
radiation emitted from
