As circuits become smaller and more compact, they become more susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and damage. According to the ESD Association, 25% of all electronic products damaged "for unknown reasons" are attributed to ESD, and ESD damage costs the electronics industry an estimated $5 billion a year.
Disregarding ESD protection during electronic assembly can lead to permanent circuit damage, failures, and increased production costs; as well as reduced or lost customer confidence in the reliability of your products.
To ensure your electronic components receive maximum ESD protection and prevent ESD damage, our experts recommend implementing three levels of protection for electronic circuits:
Facility ESD protection area: Electrostatic discharge protection areas (EPAs) protect ESD-sensitive electronic devices from common sources of electrostatic discharge by grounding conductive materials and workers in production areas susceptible to electrostatic discharge.
1. Conductive floor materials, such as antistatic mats
2. Clothing and uniforms for employees with conductive threads
3. Proper humidity levels
Built-in ESD protection for circuits: Built-in ESD protection reduces the risk of total circuit failure or potential damage when the assembly is most vulnerable, such as during the electronic assembly process. Best practices for built-in ESD protection include:
1. Select transient circuit protection devices to meet your PCB parameters.
2. Place suppressors at ESD penetration points.
ESD-controlled storage and transportation of circuit boards: The risk of ESD cannot be eliminated after production, and measures must also be taken to protect circuit boards during storage and transportation. The most common solution for storing and transporting electronic circuits is antistatic bags. Antistatic bags are designed according to the principle of Faraday cages and made of fine metal to seal the contents from external charges.
