Conductive ESD bag with a network card inside ESD shoes. Electrostatic discharge materials (ESD materials) are plastics that reduce static electricity to protect against damage to electrostatic-sensitive devices (ESD) or to prevent the accidental ignition of flammable liquids or gases.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a sudden and momentary flow of electric current between two differently-charged objects when brought close together or when the dielectric between them breaks down, often creating a visible spark associated with the static electricity between the objects. ESD can create spectacular electric sparks (lightning ...
A network card inside an antistatic bag. A pink static dissipative bag, and a silver conductive bag. Note the two recurring ESD symbols. An antistatic bag is a bag used for storing electronic components, which are prone to damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
An antistatic device is any device that reduces, dampens, or otherwise inhibits electrostatic discharge, or ESD, which is the buildup or discharge of static electricity. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] ESD can damage electrical components such as computer hard drives, and even ignite flammable liquids and gases.
Symbol for an ESD protection device – EPA Alternate warning symbol Symbol of an ESD grounding point for all components. An electrostatic-sensitive device (often abbreviated ESD) is any component (primarily electrical) which can be damaged by common static charges which build up on people, tools, and other non-conductors or semiconductors. [1]
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it can move away by an electric current or electrical discharge . The word "static" is used to differentiate it from current electricity , where an electric charge flows through an electrical conductor .
ESD (gene), a human gene/enzyme; Electrostatic discharge, a sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects; Electrostatic-sensitive device, any component which can be damaged by common static charges; Energy spectral density, a part of a function in statistical signal processing
Warning label for an electrostatic sensitive device, denoting the devices susceptibility to damage. A similar symbol without the bar and with a black "dome" denotes ESD-safe equipment. The human-body model (HBM) is the most commonly used model for characterizing the susceptibility of an electronic device to damage from electrostatic discharge ...
