Hello Ramesh - Your best bet is to prevent the discharge from occurring in
the first place. Unless the addition of insulation barriers will affect your
cooling, I suggest you either block the airgaps in the tool (i.e remove
the holes) or add insulation over the board area that is affected.

Subject: [SI-LIST] ESD failure - need advise
Hello Experts,
Greetings!!!
we are having ESD fail (in regulatory testing) in one of our design.
It's simple wireless DAQ system with 2 boards [controller PCB + LED/Sensor
PCB]. FPC cable (5") is used as interconnect.Package is abs plastics.
Light-pipe is used for the for led indication. When +8kV is applied through air
discharging, inadvertent LED trigger occurs . Randomly, system is also hanging
when multiple zapping applied (especially for 8kV voltage level).
I have tried to limit airgaps, added filter caps, etc but issue is not entirely
solved.
Is there any ESD simulation/analysis tool available for addressing this failure
analysis?
Any help/debug tips related to this would be very helpful.
Thanks and regards,
Ramesh
