EM TEST ACC Capacitive Coupling Clamp

EM TEST ACC Capacitive Coupling Clamp is used to couple fast transient pulses to I/O lines as required in different national and international standards and car manufacturer specifications for automotive testing. The effective coupling capacitance depends on the diameter and the material of the used cables. A typical value will be around 100 pF.

The coupling on signal lines can usually not be affected capacitively without interfering with the signal flow. It is often impossible to contact the required circuit (direct), e.g. coaxial or shielded cables. In this case the coupling is realized with the capacitive coupling clamp. The interference simulator can be connected via a coaxial cable on both sides of the ACC coupling clamp.
