Static Electricity Can Cause Harm During SMT Processing

Circuits are more vulnerable to damage and electrostatic discharge as they get smaller and compact.
According to the ESD Association 25% of electronic products that are damaged for “unknown
reasons” can be attributed to ESD. ESD damages cost the electronics industry $5 billion per year.

Neglecting ESD protection can result in permanent circuit damage and failures. It may also increase
production costs, as well as reduce or lose customer confidence.

Our experts recommend three levels of ESD protection to ensure that your electronic components are
protected from ESD damage and receive maximum ESD protection:

ESD Protection Area: Electrostatic discharge protection zones (EPAs) are designed to
protect electronic devices sensitive to ESD from electrostatic discharges by grounding conductive
material and workers.

1. Antistatic mats and other conductive floor materials

2. Clothing and uniforms with conductive threads for employees

3. Maintaining proper humidity levels

Circuits with built-in ESD Protection: Built in ESD Protection reduces the risks of
circuit failures or damage, especially when the assembly is at its most vulnerable. The best practices
for built in ESD protection include the following:

1. Choose transient circuit protection devices that meet your PCB specifications.

2. Use suppressors to block ESD penetration.

ESD controlled storage and transport of circuit boards.The ESD risk cannot be eliminated once the
circuit boards are produced. Therefore, it is important to take measures for circuit board protection
during storage and transit. Antistatic bags are the most common way to store and transport electronic
circuits. Antistatic bags, made from fine metal and designed on the Faraday cage principle, seal
contents against external charges.
