How to avoid ESD discharges in electronics manufacturing

To prevent ESD discharges, it is crucial to properly prepare the entire production area. This involves grounding the floors appropriately and managing the humidity and temperature in the air to create an ESD safe environment. Additionally, electronic components should be stored in special packaging with ESD markings to avoid any potential damage caused by ESD.

Furthermore, it is essential that the handling of components takes place exclusively in ESD Protected Areas (EPAs), where electrostatic fields and voltages are properly controlled. These EPAs can range from individual workstations to entire production halls and must be clearly marked. Equipping workstations with antistatic materials to dissipate ESD is vital in these areas.

To ensure the effectiveness of ESD protection, all personnel working in the EPAs must be properly grounded. This requires the use of ESD wristbands or ankle bands, special protective footwear, and antistatic lab coats in the ESD environment. Regular grounding testing is also important to maintain an ESD safe workspace.

By implementing these measures, we can significantly reduce the risk of ESD discharges and protect our electronic components from potential damage.
