Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies
of different electrostatic potentials, such as an operator and a piece of electrical
equipment. It occurs when electronic components are improperly handled, and it
can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. Electrostatic discharge is
more likely to occur with the combination of synthetic fibers and dry atmosphere.
