Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the transfer of an electrostatic charge between objects at different electrical potentials. ESD can change the electrical characteristics and degrade or destroy a semiconductor device. ESD can also disrupt the normal operation of an electronic system by causing equipment malfunction or failure.
To dissipate or neutralize electrostatic charges, use proper grounding and conductive or dissipative materials.
Electrostatic discharge alert
ESD can damage electric circuits. Do not touch electric hardware unless you wear a grounding wrist strap or other static-dissipating device.
Proper antistatic packaging effectively shields products from electrostatic charges and reduces the charge generation caused by product movement within the container.
