What is Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) ?




ESD refers to the flow of electrical charges between two objects that have different electrical potentials. It occurs when there is contact or proximity between two surfaces and can have significant implications in the field of electronics. For instance, the spark created when we touch a metal object after walking on a carpet is a classic example of ESD.



In a manufacturing environment, particularly in ESD manufacturing, ESD can be generated through various means such as friction, separation, or temperature changes. These processes can cause the release of electrical charges between objects, potentially leading to damage or malfunction of sensitive electronic components.



Understanding ESD and implementing appropriate measures to prevent or minimize its occurrence is of utmost importance in the electronics industry. By taking necessary precautions, such as using ESD-safe materials and equipment, grounding techniques, and proper training, we can effectively safeguard electronic devices from the harmful effects of ESD.
