Placing a target too close to an ionizer, whether AC or DC,…
Understanding ESD Control: ESD Prevention: Part 2
In Part 1, we looked at charge generation and dissipation and how this leads to specifying a maximum resistance to ground Rg to control electrostatic charge buildup. Charge is stored…
An Overview of ANSI/ESD S20.20
Static electricity, a natural phenomenon that has existed for centuries, has long been a source of both curiosity and concern in various industries. Its first problematic…
Understanding ESD Control
Part 1: Charge Buildup and Resistance to Ground
The normal world is full of electrostatic discharge (ESD) risks to unprotected ESD susceptible devices (ESDS). To handle these, we must set up an ESD Protected Area (EPA) in…
