Study Notes
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
- Electro-static discharge (ESD) occurs when two electrical charged objects come into contact, often due to friction on surfaces like hair, clothing, and carpets.
- ESD can generate spectacular electrical sparks, but may not be visible, and can still affect equipment.
Importance of Preventing ESD
- ESD must be avoided to prevent the possible failure of solid-state electronics components, such as integrated circuits.
ESD Protection Measures
ESD Protected Areas
- Some repair centers and laboratories establish electro-static protected areas to control ESD.
ESD Tools
- Anti-static wrist strap: a safety tool that prevents the accumulation of static electricity near sensitive electronics or equipment.
- Anti-static mat: used with anti-static wrist strap to safeguard individuals or equipment (e.g., computers) from electrostatic discharge.
- Anti-static mats are used to protect computer parts, including motherboards, expansion cards, and memory devices.
