Safe handling of ESD electronics - So that the spark does not fly!
From basic physics to effective prevention of electrostatic discharge.
ESD can cause devastating damage in production and handling of electronic components that often goes unrecognized.In our webinar, we dive into the physical phenomenon of ESD (electrostatic discharge) and reveal the invisible danger to which electronic components and assemblies are exposed.
We explain the basics of ESD and illustrate the effects ESD can have on components, assemblies and finished products. You will receive practical tips and on best practices that you can implement immediately in your production environment to prevent ESD damage.
