DEFINITION OF ESD

What is ESD?
  • Electro Static Discharge
    Rapid energy transfer from statically-charged bodies or materials to or from Electro Static Discharge Sensitive electronic devices (ie ESDS devices)


  • Most electronic devices are ESD sensitive.
    – sensitivity depends on product and design.

CLASSIFICATION OF ESD SAFE MATERIAL
Based on Surface Resistivity in ohm/* (Ω/*)
SR > 10¹² Ω /* insulating
 
10E9 Ω /* SR < 10E11 Ω /* antistatic ] < 300 V
< 48 hrs decay time
10E6 Ω /* SR < 10E8 Ω /* dissipative ] < 100 V
< 2 secs decay time
SR 10E5 Ω /* conductive ] < 50 V
< 2 secs decay time
