What is Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Why Should You Use It?
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is commonly known as “static electricity.” These discharges occur when an electric charge is built up and then rapidly transferred from one object to another which is usually accompanied by a visible spark.
An electrostatic discharge can have negative consequences, where components can become damaged or lead to unsafe circumstances. These are most commonly in (but certainly not limited to) electronics manufacturing. For example,
small electronics can be destroyed by ESD with voltages lower […]
