Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a common cause of damage to electronic components, especially sensitive ones like integrated circuits, transistors, and diodes. ESD occurs when a sudden flow of electricity between two objects with different electric potentials, such as a human body and a circuit board, creates a spark or a shock. ESD can degrade, destroy, or alter the performance of electronic components, leading to failures, defects, or reduced reliability. Therefore, managing ESD risks and preventing damage to electronic components is a crucial aspect of electronics manufacturing.

The session helps introduce participants to the causes of ESD and the steps taken to mitigate its effects when handling, storing, or transporting ESD-sensitive components in a manufacturing facility. You will learn some basic principles and best practices for ESD control and protection.

Who can participate?

Anyone who enters the electronics manufacturing floor including operators, technicians, and supervisory personnel.
