ESD Basics 2020 06

What is ESD and how do you control it to protect your ESD sensitive components? In order for an ESD control program to be effective, operators must be aware of the threat of ESD, and understand and adhere to the rules controlling static electricity, and how to properly use ESD Protected Area (EPA) ESD control items.
Understanding what ESD is and how to manage it is not always easy. This webinar addresses several key points about ESD:
• What is static electricity?
• How is it generated?
• How do you control it?

thanks, sir.

Thank you so much sir …I have one doubt , when you are checking the ESD on Matt by SRM meter you are connected the electrodes (yellow colour object) to SRM ,I want to know y it is connected & purpose of connecting the electrode

[@DescoESDControl]

The ESDA describes the design and use this type of electrode in the TR53-01-22 document. The TR53-01-22 is a complimentary downloaded at ESDA. You might also find useful information on the video of our surface resistance meter.

Can electrostatic charges be removed from charged plastic by rubbing it on the ESD mat?

[@DescoESDControl]

No. Plastics (unless specifically designed with conductive compounds) are insulators. Insulators must adhere to the 1 inch/12 inch requirement from ESD susceptible devices or ionization must be used to neutralize the charge on the insulator. Even if the plastic was conductive, rubbing it would be ineffective. Conductors must be continually grounded.
