What is ESD damage and how can you protect electronics against it?What is ESD? Short for electrostatic discharge, ESD is the sudden release of static electricity that occurs when two objects with different charges come into contact or close proximity with one another. For an ESD event to ...
The impact of ESD on electronic devices cannot be overrated. Since technology nodes moved into the sub-micron regime, it has become the predominant failure cause. Industrial statistics suggest that today, almost40% of the IC failuresare related to EOS/ESD events, resulting in billions of do...
ESD, where it comes from and how to Protect against It.Test MethodsMichael KricklEDN
ESD is a sudden flow of static charge from one object with a higher charge to an object with a lower charge.
What is susceptible to EOS? In general, everything that has electronics is susceptible to EOS. Particularly vulnerable parts are ones that interface with the outside world since they are likely to be the first to see electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning strikes, and so on. Of...
The intention of this web site to serve as a definitive source of information about how ESD and power surges can dramatically decrease the lifetime of laser diodes, and how to help ensure their maximum lifetimes.
The fragile nature of electronics: Packing matters Taking on the electronics market, you are already aware how fragile these items are.Electronics are vulnerable to various types of damage during transit, ranging from dents and scratches to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and improper hand...

Before shipping semiconductors from Singapore, it's imperative to grasp the country's export regulations for the industry. These regulations aim to ensure compliance with international standards, protect national security interests, and prevent the proliferation of sensitive technologies. ...
To protect your system’s components from static damage during the installation process, touch any of the unpainted metal surfaces on your computer’s frame or wear an ESD wrist strap before touching or handling internal components. Either method will safely discharge static electricity that’s ...
