Abstract

The paint or enamel coating, for electronic equipment, esp. computers, is electrically conducting and has a resistance of a few hundred kiloohms. the conducting coating and the capacitance of the e.g. electrostatically-charged person from an RC circuit whose time constant is considerably larger than it would be without the coating. At the same time the coating forms a voltage divider with the casing so that only small voltages and currents flow away via the casing but which are still adequate to totally discharge the person, thereby protecting charge-sensitive electronic device (esp. MOSFET circuits).

Description

Computerschutzlack zur Verhütung von elektrostatischenComputer protective varnish to prevent electrostatic effects

Hochspannungsentladungen in kurzen Zeiträumen Das physikalische Prinzip dieses Verfahrens betrifft einen leitfähigen, möglichst widerstandsfähigen (gegenüber mechanischer Beanspruchung) Schutzlack, der über sämtliche Abdeckteile (Gehusehauben etc) gesprüht wird, unter denen sich elektronische Elemente befinden, die gegenüber elektrostatischen Entladungen, insbesondere durch Personen, die mit diesen Teilen in Berührung kommen, emfindsam sind. Das trifft besonde auf Computer zu.High voltage discharges in short periods of time The physical principle This method concerns a conductive, as resistant as possible (to mechanical stress) Protective varnish that covers all cover parts (housing hoods etc), under which there are electronic elements, the opposite Electrostatic discharges, especially from people who work with these parts come into contact, are sensitive. This is especially true of computers.

Der Schutzlack dient dem Zweck, die spontane Entladung an Gehäuseteilen etc. zwar nicht zu verhindern, aber über einen wesentlich längeren Zeitraum zu verteilen, so dass die Spannung sich langsamer und mit wesentlich geringerer Stromstärke abbaut.The purpose of the protective lacquer is to prevent spontaneous discharge on parts of the housing etc. not to be prevented, but to be spread over a much longer period of time, so that the voltage decreases more slowly and with a significantly lower current intensity.

Es ist bekannt, dass zu diesem Zweck bisher besondere Strom-Ableitkabel an das Gehäuse montiert wurden, die zwar sicherstellen, dass das jeweilige Gehäuse sich nicht aufladen kann, aber keineswegs verhinderns dass bereits geladene Teile sich über das Gehauseentladen und damit z.B. ein gerade laufendes Rechnerprogramm zum Stillstand bringen durch Pehlerrechnungen. Die bisherige Technik verhindert also keineswegs die Gefährdung der Elektronik, besonder bei MOS-Technologie.It is known that special current discharge cables have so far been used for this purpose were mounted on the housing, which ensures that the respective housing cannot charge, but in no way prevent parts that are already charged via the housing and thus e.g. a currently running computer program bring to a standstill by mistake calculations. The previous technology prevented So by no means the endangerment of the electronics, especially with MOS technology.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass ein leifähiger Speziallack aufgetragen wird, der in seiner Zusammensetzung keineswegs kritisch ist. Seine Leitfahigkeit liegt im Bereich von einigen hundert Kilo-Ohm und bildet daher zusammen mit der Kapazität z.B. von elektrostatisch aufgeladenen Personen ein RC-Glied, dessen Zeitkonstante wesentlich grösser ist als ohne diesen Schutzlack. Zugleich bildet der Lack einen Spannungsteiler mit dem Gehuse, sodass nur geringe Spannungen und Ströme über das Gehäuse abfliessen, die aber ausreichen, die betreffende Person restlos zu entladen.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a conductive Special paint is applied, which is by no means critical in its composition is. Its conductivity is in the range of a few hundred kilo-ohms and forms therefore together with the capacity of electrostatically charged people, for example an RC element, the time constant of which is significantly greater than without this protective varnish. At the same time, the lacquer forms a voltage divider with the housing, so that only slight Voltages and currents flow through the housing, but they are sufficient for the relevant Person to be completely discharged.

Dadurch wird die Gefährdung elektronischer, elektrostatisch empfindsamer Geräte wirkungsvoll verhindert.This makes the electronic and electrostatic hazard more sensitive Devices effectively prevented.
